Question

Which of the following statements regarding carbon dioxide transport is incorrect?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

CO₂ is primarily transported as bicarbonate ions. Some CO₂ binds to hemoglobin to form carbamino-hemoglobin. CO₂ transport does not affect blood pH. Correct Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the conversion of CO₂ into bicarbonate.

Explanation

CO₂ transport does affect blood pH, as increased CO₂ leads to carbonic acid formation, lowering pH.
