Identify the incorrect statement regarding carbonic anhydrase:
1. RBCs contain a very high concentration of the enzyme.
2. It is not present at all in the plasma.
3. It assists rapid inter-conversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbonic acid, protons and bicarbonate ions.
4. The active site of the enzyme contains a zinc ion.

Consider the two statements regarding transport of carbon dioxide as bicarbonate:
Statement I: At the alveolar site where partial pressure of CO2 is high due to catabolism, CO2 diffuses into blood (RBCs and plasma) and forms HCO3and H+.
Statement II: At the tissue site where pCO2 is low, the reaction proceeds in the opposite direction leading to the formation of CO2 and H2O.

1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
