900 ml / liter carbon bi oxide is dissolved in water but only 4 ml/ liter of Oxygen is dissolved in water so carbon bi oxide is transported through solution in plasma but Oxygen is not and so one of the most wonderful molecule is required for it's transport, that is Hemoglobin, witch transport 70 times as more Oxygen.

The main function of red blood cells is to transport oxygen around in the body. The oxygen is transported by the hemoglobin (a protein) which is inside the red blood cells.
How is oxygen transported to all cells?
Through the bloodstream, dissolved in the blood and bound to haemoglobin,
Gas is carried mostly by the plasma?
Gas is carried mostly by the plasma in the blood. The plasma contains dissolved gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, which are transported to different parts of the body. Oxygen is transported from the lungs to the tissues, while carbon dioxide is carried from the tissues back to the lungs for elimination.
What is the oxygen in the blood transported by?
Oxygen in the blood is transported by hemoglobin.
Most of the oxygen in the blood is transported?
Oxygen molecules are bound to the red pigment HEMOGLOBIN, a protein complex found exclusively in red blood cells. A very small amount of oxygen is also dissolved in the liquid portion of blood, but hemoglobin carries the bulk of oxygen.

7%
How is oxygen carried through the bloodstream?
Oxygen can travel dissolved in the plasma, but mostly it binds to a specific molecule - hemoglobin - found in red blood cells.
How oxygen is transported?
Oxygen is transported with the help of Red blood cells as the red blood cells contain haemoglobin to can carry oxygen from one place to another.
