List all the ways in which co2 is transported in the blood. of these, how is the majority of the co2, transported in the blood?

Carbon dioxide is the prime waste component of aerobic respiration. Too little or too much carbon dioxide in the blood can result in extreme issues. In order to make this safe and sound, carbon dioxide is transported in the blood in three ways. That is, in the form of carbamino compounds, hydrogen carbonate, and in the form of a dissolved state.  

Approximately 30 percent of all the carbon dioxide is mediated in the form of carbamino compounds. At high quantity, carbon dioxide binds directly with amino acids and the amine groups of hemoglobin to produce carbaminohaemoglobin.  

Almost 60 percent, that is, the majority of the carbon dioxide is transported in the blood in the form of bicarbonate ions or hydrogen carbonate. The diffusion of carbon dioxide takes place in the RBCs and gets transformed into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions with the help of an enzyme known as carbonic anhydrase.  

Approximately 10 percent of all the carbon dioxide is transported in the form of a dissolved state in plasma. The concentration of gas dissolved in a liquid relies upon its partial pressure and its solubility. In spite of its solubility, only some of the carbon dioxide in the blood is in reality transported in the form of dissolved state in plasma.
