“What is the name of the blood cell responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide?”
Explanation
Answer: C - Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells, are responsible for transporting oxygen to body tissue from the lungs, via arterial blood vessels, and return carbon dioxide to the lungs, from body tissues, via venous blood vessels. Each red blood cell contains hemoglobin. Hemoglobin allows the transportation and exchange of an oxygen or carbon dioxide molecule. Imagine, the entire body oxygenated one tiny molecule at a time.
