The primary function of white blood cells is to fight infection. Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the body tissues, and carbon dioxide as a waste product away from the tissues and back to the lungs.
The most important protein involved in the transport of carbon dioxide by blood is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin binds to carbon dioxide in red blood cells and helps transport it from tissues to the lungs, where it can be exhaled.
Glucose is carried through the circulation in the blood plasma.
The majority of carbon dioxide is transported in red blood cells as bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) dissolved in the plasma. Carbon dioxide diffuses into red blood cells where it is converted to bicarbonate by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase. This allows for efficient transport of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs for elimination.
Blood cells carrying carbon dioxide return to the heart through veins, specifically the superior and inferior vena cava. These veins transport the deoxygenated blood back to the right side of the heart, which then pumps it to the lungs for oxygenation.
Carbon dioxide is probably the most important.
Red blood cells, corpuscles, transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body, and carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs.
They transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Red blood cells have haemoglobin which helps in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
They transport mainly oxygen to cells, while taking waste and carbon dioxide away.
Red Blood cells transport oxygen to the cells, and they then take carbon dioxide from the cells.
Red blood cells carry most carbon dioxide wastes away from the cells of the body.

Red blood cells have the highest affinity for both oxygen and carbon dioxide. This is due to the presence of the protein hemoglobin in red blood cells, which binds to oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules. Hemoglobin helps transport oxygen from the lungs to tissues and carries carbon dioxide away from the tissues to be exhaled from the lungs.
