Answer
In human beings, the respiratory pigment is haemoglobin which has a very high affinity for oxygen. This pigment is present in the red blood corpuscles and is responsible for transportation of oxygen. Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water than oxygen is and hence is mostly transported in the dissolved form in our blood.
