In red blood cells, the compound carbonic anhydrase increases the rate at which the reaction of carbon dioxide being converted to bicarbonate ions for its transport into the blood takes place. In red blood cells, carbonic anhydrase acts as which of the following?

Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood from the tissue to the lungs in three ways:1 (i) dissolved in solution; (ii) buffered with water as carbonic acid; (iii) bound to proteins, particularly haemoglobin. Approximately 75% of carbon dioxide is transport in the red blood cell and 25% in the plasma.
