Assertion A: During the transportation of gases, about 20-25 percent of \(CO_2\) is carried by Haemoglobin as carbamino-haemoglobin.
Reason R: This binding is related to high p \(CO_2\) and low p \(O_2\) in tissues.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Both Assertion A and Reason R are correct, and R is the correct explanation of A. About 20–25% of CO$_2$ is transported in the blood as carbaminohaemoglobin. The formation of carbaminohaemoglobin is favored by high pCO$_2$ and low pO$_2$, conditions that prevail in the tissues.
