Although much CO2 is carried in blood, yet blood
does not become acidic, because
(a) CO2 is continuously diffused through the tissues
and is not allowed to accumulate
(b) in CO2 transport, blood buffers play an
important role
(c) CO2 is absorbed by the leucocytes
(d) CO2 combines with water to form H2CO3 which
is neutralised by NaCO3.
