Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of hemoglobin: Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and returning carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.

Identify the different forms of hemoglobin: Hemoglobin can bind to various molecules, forming different compounds such as oxyhemoglobin (with oxygen), carboxyhemoglobin (with carbon monoxide), and carbaminohemoglobin (with carbon dioxide).

Focus on carbaminohemoglobin: This specific form of hemoglobin is created when carbon dioxide binds to the amino groups on the globin chains of hemoglobin, not the heme group where oxygen binds.

Differentiate between the options: Recognize that carbaminohemoglobin is distinct from hemoglobin bound to oxygen (oxyhemoglobin) and hemoglobin bound to carbon monoxide (carboxyhemoglobin).

Conclude with the correct association: Carbaminohemoglobin is the form of hemoglobin that is bound to carbon dioxide, which is crucial for the transport of carbon dioxide from tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
