What is the relationship between carbon dioxide and hemoglobin?

Answer
A
Hemoglobin delivers carbon dioxide to the cells of the body.
B
Hemoglobin binds with carbon dioxide and brings it back to the lungs.
C
Hemoglobin removes carbon dioxide from the body by dissolving it.
D
Carbon dioxide delivers hemoglobin to the cells of the body.

Explanation

Some carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, which carries it from body tissues toward the lungs. There, the carbon dioxide is released and exhaled. Much of the carbon dioxide travels in the blood in another form, as bicarbonate, but B is the choice that describes hemoglobin’s role.
