Most carbon dioxide is transported in the blood as bicarbonate ions (HCO₃⁻), facilitating CO₂ removal from tissues.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 14: Breathing and Exchange of Gases Respiratory Disorders - Asthma Emphysema Occupational Disorders
About 70% of carbon dioxide is transported in the form of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in the blood.

Carbon dioxide is 20-25 times more soluble in blood than oxygen, making it easier to transport.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 14: Breathing and Exchange of Gases Transport of Carbon Dioxide and Regulation of Respiration
CO₂ transport does affect blood pH, as increased CO₂ leads to carbonic acid formation, lowering pH.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 14: Breathing and Exchange of Gases Transport of Carbon Dioxide and Regulation of Respiration
CO₂ is mainly transported as bicarbonate ions, not as dissolved gas in plasma.

Nitrogen concentration does not affect the oxygen dissociation curve, while factors like pO₂, pH, and temperature do.

About 97% of oxygen is transported in the blood by binding to hemoglobin in RBCs.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 14: Breathing and Exchange of Gases Exchange of Gases and Transport of Oxygen
Oxygen is mainly transported by binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells.
