What is the main job of the red cells in the blood?

Answer 1

Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the circulatory system, which allows the tissue cells to produce energy through aerobic respiration. The red blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs and carry it through the arteries in the body to the tissues. When they reach the smallest vessels, capillaries, oxygen is easily dropped off and the cells make their way back to the heart and then into the lungs. They will continue this cycle for about 100-120 days. Because the body is always making new blood, it is safe, under most circumstances, to donate blood.

Answer 2

A red blood cell transports air from the lungs or gills and release it as it squeezes through openings in the body. So in essence, the job of a red blood cell is to transport oxygen throughout the body.

Answer 3

Red cells, or erythrocytes, are relatively large macroscopic cells without nuclei. red cells normally make up to 40-50% of total blood volume. They transport oxygen from the lungs, and bring it to all of the living tissues of the body and carry away carbon. the red cells are continuously being made by bone marrow. =)

Answer 4

The red blood cells contain hemoglobin which binds to oxygen, so the red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's cells.

Other functions of red blood cells include delivery, removal, and transport of nutrients, and excess H+ ions, as well as maintenance and prevention.

Answer 5

The main job of red blood cells is to transport oxygen from the lungs to all the tissues in the body. They have a protein called hemoglobin that binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it in the tissues where it is needed for energy production.

Answer 6

to carry haemoglobin, which is oxygen supplier in our body.

Answer 7

to transport oxygen in all parts of the body

Answer 8

Red blood cells circulate oxygen from the lungs throughout the body, and circulate carbon dioxide to the lungs to be expelled from the body.

Answer 9

red blood cells are the most plentiful in blood. They circulate oxygen and nutrients around the body.
