Answer:

bicarbonate-carbaminohemoglobin-dissolved in plasma

Explanation:

Transport of CO2 in the blood occurs in three main forms. Most of the CO2 is carried in the blood as bicarbonate. It accounts for transport of about 70% CO2. In RBCs, CO2 reacts with water in the presence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase to form carbonic acid, which dissociates into H+ and HCO3-. Bicarbonate formation also occurs in blood plasma.

About 23% of CO2 is carried in the form of carbamino-compounds. Binding of CO2 to hemoglobin forms carbaminohemoglobin. The smallest percentage of CO2 (about 7%) is dissolved in blood plasma and is diffused into the alveolar air as it reaches the lungs.

The genetic code exists as _____________ codons, which are sets of _______________ nucleotides in which each nucleotide is one o
My name is Ann [436]

     RNA, 3, 4.

    The very important thing here is the knowledge of the process of how a cell makes a protein, and this is quite simple. It starts at the nucleus of a cell, with the polymerase RNA reading the DNA and then making a single RNA ribbon, the mRNA, this contains 4 kinds of ribonucleotides, adenylate, guanylate, uridylate, cytidylate. This ribbon then gets out of the nucleus carried by tRNA containing the codon that matches these for, but in cracks (3).

     Don't forget that this process is all based in amino acids, a protein is formed by these, and each crack will determine what this protein or that one will do for the cell's survival. So the conclusion to that is: all the proteins in your body are based in your own DNA, that's why you are who you are.
