Carbon dioxide is converted to carbonic acid and bicarbonate ions with the help of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase found in red blood cells. The same enzyme aids in converting the bicarbonate ions back to carbon dioxide when red blood cells go to the lungs, where they are exhaled.

<h3>What is the action of carbonic anhydrase?</h3>

In humans, the primary function of carbonic anhydrase is to catalyze the transformation of carbon dioxide into carbonic acid and back again. However, it can also aid in the blood's transportation of CO2, which benefits breathing. Even the stomach's production of hydrochloric acid can use it.
