Yes, in every red blood cell is a quaternary protein called hemoglobin which has a heme group in each subsection that binds oxygen with an atom of iron and carries oxygen to all points of the body it is needed in.

∙ 7y agoYes. Red blood cells contain the iron-based protein hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from the lungs to the other cells in the body. The cells also pick up carbon dioxide to take back to the lungs.
Some other molecules, such as carbon monoxide, can also bind to hemoglobin and prevent it from carrying oxygen - this can cause injury or death unless the monoxide is displaced from the blood.

Why are red blood cells important to the circulatory system?
Provide oxygen to the entire body, from the brain to the pinky toe. Blood is circulated via the Pulmonary Artery from the heart to the lungs, and from the lungs (where oxygen is absorbed by the red blood cells) to the rest of the body. After the oxygen has been dispersed, the blood cells begin the cycle anew.
