A very small percentage dissolves in the plasma.
Answer:
The oxygen s not carried in the blood's fluids, it is chemically taken up by the haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin.

What is carried in the blood?
Oxygen is transported in the blood
Carrys o2 and waste from the body?
Blood
Where does blood flow after a heartbeat?
The human heart has 4 chambers. Blood with no O2 goes to the heart then is pumped to the lungs to receive O2 then the blood is sent back to the heart where it is then pumped to the rest of the body.
What substances are carried by the blood to nourish cells?
Oxygen is carried by the red blood cells. The hemoglobin in the blood mixes with oxygen, and this is transported to other parts of the body.
Do artreies always carry 02 rich blood?
Not always. The pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein reverse the general roles of O2 rich and poor blood. The pulmonary artery carries O2 poor blood to the lungs and the pulmonary vein carries O2 rich blood back to the heart in order to be sent to the rest of the body.
What are the three types of blood vessels and what type of blood is carried in each?
The three types of blood vessels are: 1. arteries which usually carry O2 blood 2. veins which usually carry low O2 blood 3. capillaries which carry high O2 blood at the begging of the "bed" and low O2 at the end of the "bed"
In what form is o2 carried in blood?
Oxygen is bound to a protein (a respiratory pigment), called hemoglobin.
What are the functions of blood in respiration?
Blood in the body carried respiratory gases (i.e. O2 and CO2) around the body to cells where it's needed for cellular respiration.
Blood is carried in this?
blood is carried in the blood vessels.
2 ways oxygen is carried in the blood?
Oxygen binds (oxygenation) to metalloproteins (like hemoglobin in mammals) in erythrocytes (red blood cells). When the oxygenated metalloprotein reaches a tissue, the environment (low pH, high CO2 partial pressure, etc.) triggers the O2 unloading and CO2 loading. The O2 is then taken up into the tissue.
What molecule binds oxygen?
The molecule that bind oxygen in the blood stream is hemoglobin. The O2 attaches to the molecule allowing it to be carried around the body to the other cells.
What is the function on haemoglobin?
It helps in transport of O2 and CO2 It gives the red colour to the blood Haemoglobin will combine also with carbon monoxide to form carboxyhaemoglobin, which has the effect of reducing the amount of oxygen that can be carried in the blood.
What is carried in red blood cells?
oxygen is carried in red blood cells
Why is the respiratoy system important?
To get rid of CO2 waste and refresh your blood with O2. O2 is needed for your sugars and fat to burn, which is fuel for your muscles and other organs to move. CO2 comes from burning that fuel. Both is carried in and out by the lungs via the red blood cells. Oxygen is needed in any form of combustion. AKA 'fat burning'.
Is vena cava blood O2 rich or O2 poor?
Oxygen Poor
What carries o2 and co2 in the blood?
Red blood cells.
What is blood carried in?
Haemoglobin, oxygen, and iron are carried by blood cells.
