Does red blood cell bind beside carbon dioxide?
Answers:
Angel, you gave us a biddable web reference but you did not read it correctly. Carboxyhemoglobin is the result of hemoglobin binding with carbon monoxide, which is a vastly different matter. A correct account of carbon dioxide transport is right at the end of the pattern page:
Carbon dioxide transport
Carbon dioxide is also transported by hemoglobin. CO2 transport from tissues can be accomplished by 3 mechanisms, directly and indirectly by erythrocytes and in solution within the plasma. Three-fourths of the CO2 is transported by indirect erythrocyte transport: CO2 diffuses into the erythrocytes where it is transformed into carbonic acid (H2O + CO2 = H2CO3 = H+ + HCO3–). Deoxyhemoglobin accepts the H+ and HCO3– (bicarbonate) diffuses put money on into the plasma. In the lungs HCO3– converts back to CO2 and H20 and is eliminated via respiration.

yes. red blood cells are also set as erythrocytes and they're rich in a protein known as haemoglobin. It enables red blood cell to bind with carbon dioxide forming carboxyhaemoglobin which may be found on capillaries leading to the lungs. There the carbon dioxide dissociates from the rbc and pass into the lungs to be exhaled. Source(s): http://www.ndsu.nodak.edu/instruct/tcolvill/435/erythrocytes.htm
i got most of the information from wide reading so you might not find everything i said on this link, but the complete idea ought to be the same
yes. Some CO2 in the body is carried by the RBCs. Most CO2s, however, become bicarbonate, and is dissolved in the blood.
Yes...
