Why carbon dioxide is mostly transported in dissolved form?

Answered by admin @ 12/08/2021

Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water than oxygen and hence is mostly transported in the dissolved form in our blood. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is more soluble in water than oxygen. That is why, as compared to oxygen a much larger volume of it is transported in dissolved form in our blood from tissues to the lungs.
