close :D
bicarbonate (HCO3-) or better would be carbonic acid H2CO3
here's the equilibrium formula
CO2 + H2O <> H2CO3 <> H+ + HCO3-

Carbon dioxide is carried by blood in 4 ways: (Transported by blood from tissues to the alveoli)
As dissolved form: 7%
As carbonic acid: negligible amounts
As bicarbonates: 63%
As carbamino compounds: 30%

CO2 binds to hemoglobin in the tissues that have high concentration of CO2 (like muscle tissue) and is transported in blood until it gets to the lung. In lungs it unbinds from hemoglobin and is defused through the alveolar membrane and is released into the air.
