The Physiology of Carbon Dioxide Transport in Insect Blood : Part II. The Effect of Insect Blood on the Rate of Hydration of CO2
1 Molteno Institute, University of Cambridge
1. A manometric and an improved colorimetric method have been employed to study the effect of insect blood on the reaction between carbon dioxide and water.
2. The absence of carbonic anhydrase from insect blood has been confirmed.
3. Neither Locust nor Gastrophilus larva blood contains any substance which inhibits the hydration of carbon dioxide.
