The three methods of carbon dioxide transport in the blood are dissolution in blood plasma, binding to hemoglobin, and carried in the form of bicarbonate. About 7% of the carbon dioxide is dissolved in the blood plasma. The majority of the remaining 93% is carried as part of the bicarbonate buffer system while the rest binds to hemoglobin.

Explanation:
One of the ways in which a cell maintain homeostasis is by regulating what goes in and out of the cell through the cell membrane (which is a semi-permeable barrier). The amount of water is highly regulated by the cell in this case so as to regulate osmosis (movement of water molecules from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration). Other substances regulated are oxygen and carbon dioxide.
NOTE: The cell <u>does not create water molecules neither does it use carbon dioxide to maintain homeostasis</u>, it rather regulates these two compounds.
