In a condition where the chloride bicarbonate antiporter is inhibited, what effect would this have on CO2 transport?

• A. No effect on CO2 transport as the antiporter is not involved.
• B. Reduced CO2 transport efficiency due to impaired bicarbonate exchange.
• C. Altered blood pH leading to increased CO2 transport.
• D. Increased CO2 transport efficiency due to enhanced bicarbonate exchange.

Answer: (B)
