Which of the following are TRUE, when describing the Transport of CO2 in the body? Select ALL that are true. The diffusion of CO2, from metabolically active tissue, into the plasma and the Red Blood Cell, is enhanced by the formation of Carbamino Bonds with plasma proteins and Haemoglobin. co2 diffuses from metabolically active tissue, into the plasma, where it is rapidly converted to bicarbonate (HCO3-) by he enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase. Bicarbonate (HCO3-), formed in the Red Blood Cell, is transported into the Plasma by the Chloride-Bicarbonate Shuttle. At the lung, Bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the Plasma is transported into the Red Blood cell by the Chloride-Bicarbonate Shuttle, and transformed to CO2 by the enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase. CO2 diffuses from metabolically active tissue, into the plasma, and into the Red Blood Cell, where it is rapidly converted to bicarbonate (HCO3-) by he enzyme carbonic Anhydrase. Bicarbonate (HCO3-), formed in the Plasma, is transported into the Red Blood cell by the Chloride-Bicarbonate Shuttle. At the lung, Bicarbonate (HCO3-) in the Plasma is transformed to CO2 by the enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase, reducing the amount of Bicarbonate needing transport into the Red Blood cell by the Chloride-Bicarbonate Shuttle. Bicarbonate (HCO3-) diffuses from metabolically active tissue into the plasma, and from the plasma into the Red Blood Cell.
