Define the Transport of Carbon Dioxide in combination with protein
Carbon dioxide forms a neutral carbamino compound with haemoglobin. It combines with the haemoglobin in the red blood cell at a different site from that at which the oxygen combines. The oxygen combines with the iron haem radical, the carbon dioxide combines with the amine group of the protein forming carbarnino groups with fully reduced haemoglobin. 8 ml of carbon dioxide is carried as carbamino by 100 ml of blood.
