Erythrocytes aka red blood cells, specifically the hemoglobin of the red blood cells
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs through diffusion. Oxygen moves from the alveoli into the blood, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli, driven by differences in their concentration gradients. This process does not involve active transport, filtration, or osmosis.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the two chemicals that bind with hemoglobin in the blood. Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in the lungs for transport around the body, while carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin in the tissues for removal from the body.
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.
No. It depends on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli and the blood. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, so carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli of the lungs and is exhaled.
They transport oxygen and carbon dioxide.
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.
Red blood cells have haemoglobin which helps in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Red blood cells, corpuscles, transport oxygenated blood from the lungs to the body, and carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs.

The respiratory system is responsible for the transport of oxygen to body tissues and the removal of carbon dioxide. This process occurs through the lungs, where oxygen is taken in during inhalation and carbon dioxide is expelled during exhalation. The circulatory system then distributes oxygenated blood throughout the body and collects carbon dioxide to be exhaled.
They transport mainly oxygen to cells, while taking waste and carbon dioxide away.
Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and remove carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for exhalation.
The process responsible for the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the alveolar membrane is called diffusion. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli. This process is driven by differences in partial pressures of these gases on either side of the membrane.
Venous blood is loaded with carbon dioxide and low in oxygen Arterial blood is rich in oxygen with little carbon dioxide
Deoxygenated blood is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide.
