Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood in three different ways:

Dissolved CO2: A small amount of carbon dioxide dissolves in plasma and is transported this way.

Carbaminohemoglobin: Some carbon dioxide is bound to hemoglobin and is transported as carbaminohemoglobin.

Bicarbonate ions: The majority of carbon dioxide is converted to bicarbonate ions in red blood cells, which are then transported in the plasma.
