Yes.
Oxygen, O2, from the lungs enters the Red Blood Cell, which carries it to cells elsewhere in the body. The oxygen then transfers to the cells for their use in respiration. In its place, carbon dioxide, CO2, enters the Red Blood Cell (which is now blue) and remains dissolved in the watery inside of the cell and attached to the heme where the oxygen was once attached. The carbon dioxide is then transferred back to the lungs through the avioli.

Do white blood cells transport carbon dioxide?
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.
Do arteries transport carbon dioxide in the cells?
Arteries don't always carry blood that is high in oxygen. The term artery is an anatomical term. All blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart are arteries. All blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart are veins. Most arteries do carry blood that's high in oxygen but there is an exception. When the arteries carry blood to the lungs, this blood is low in oxygen. The veins that carry the blood back to the heart from the lungs is high in oxygen. This is called the pulmonary circuit. In this more or less seems backwards. It's best to remember that arteries carry blood away from the heart.
Which part of the blood carries the most Carbon Dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is primarily carried in the bloodstream in the form of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in the plasma. However, a small amount of carbon dioxide is also carried bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells.
What do red blood cells carry besides carbon dioxide?
the red blood cells carry carbon dioxide and oxygen that it gets from the lungs when you breath.the blood gets its color from when the red blood cells pick up the oxygen. oh and by the way red blood cells are also called erthrocytes
What carries blood to and from the body cells?
Blood vessels, such as arteries and veins, carry blood to and from the body cells. Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the body cells, while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart for recirculation. This continuous circulation ensures that nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the cells and waste products are removed from them.
What does the blood carry away from body cells?
Blood carries carbon dioxide out of cells.
Red blood cells carry?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide
What are red blood cells responsible for?
Carry oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What does the red blood cells carry to the lungs?
The red blood cells carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
What caarries carbon dioxide from the body?
your red blood cells carry oxygen into your body and takes carbon dioxide out
What is in blood cells?
They do carry oxygen to the body and brain, and they also carry Carbon Dioxide back to the lungs so the lungs can exhale the Carbon Dioxide.
What gas dos blood carry away from cells of the body?
carbon dioxide
What blood cell takes away carbon dioxide?
Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, carry carbon dioxide away from the tissues to the lungs where it is exhaled.
What carries carbon dioxide wastes away from the cells of the body?
Red blood cells carry most carbon dioxide wastes away from the cells of the body.
What is in red blood cells?
