What carries carbon dioxide wastes away from the cells of the body?

Red blood cells carry most carbon dioxide wastes away from the cells of the body.


What are the two most important things the blood carries to the body cells and the waste gas that blood carries away from these cells?

The two most important things carried to body cells by blood are oxygen and nutrients, while the waste gas carried away from cells is carbon dioxide. Oxygen and nutrients are essential for cell function and energy production, while carbon dioxide is a waste product of cellular metabolism that needs to be removed from the body.


What substance in blood that carries carbon dioxide?

Hemoglobin/haemoglobin (two different spellings of the same thing). It's a protein made up of four separate protein chains, each of which has a heme group, which has as its central feature a porphyrin ring containing an iron atom. This is what gives red blood cells their characteristic color (which is actually more of a dark purple than red when carbon dioxide is bound to the heme groups).


Breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood concentration?

If the blood concentration of carbon dioxide increases, the breathing rate is most likely to increase. This occurs as a response to remove excess carbon dioxide from the body and maintain a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood.


Why your heart is the most important thing in your body?

The heart pumps blood that has nutrients and oxygen to every cell in your body and carries wastes and carbon dioxide away.


How is most of the carbon dioxide that enters the blood transported?

Most of the carbon dioxide that enters the blood is transported in the form of bicarbonate ions (HCO3-). Carbon dioxide reacts with water in the red blood cells to form carbonic acid, which then dissociates into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.


What chemical carries oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?

I am pretty sure that it is hemoglobin. (that is most likely spelled wrong... Sorry!) You might want to check another website before you put that down as your answer.


Does the blood lose most of its carbon dioxide in the lungs?

yes


What vessels carry blood rich in carbon dioxide?

In short, the veinules, the pulmonary artery, and all veins except for the pulmonary vein are the blood vessels that carry blood that is rich in carbon dioxide. Unless you want to explain all that, the best answer is "veins." The capillaries that carry carbon dioxide back toward the heart are called veinules. The veinules join up to form veins. They eventually connect to the vena cava. The vena cava, which is the largest vein coming from the body, also carries deoxygenated blood, like nearly every other vein. The pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs and is the only artery in the body that carries deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary vein carries oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart, and it is the only vein that carries oxygen-rich blood.
