Dissolved in plasma
Dissolved CO2 accounts for the least amount of CO2 transported in blood, with only about 5-10% of CO2 carried this way. The majority of CO2 in the blood is transported as bicarbonate ions and carbamino compounds bound to hemoglobin.
97% of oxygen is transported in the blood bound to hemoglobin within red blood cells, forming oxyhemoglobin. This allows for efficient transport of oxygen throughout the body.
Oxygen transport as a liquid is not practical due to its low solubility in liquids. Oxygen is primarily transported in the body bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells. This allows for efficient transport of oxygen to tissues and organs.
Oxygen is primarily transported in the body through binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Additionally, a small amount of oxygen is dissolved in the plasma.
In humans, oxygen is transported in the blood primarily by binding to hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules, allowing for efficient transport of oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues.

By the blood.
Glucose is transported through the blood
Glucose is carried through the circulation in the blood plasma.

No, carbon dioxide and waste are transported by the blood AWAY from each cell.
Actually, the largest amount of carbon dioxide is transported in the bloodstream in the form of bicarbonate ions. This process occurs as carbon dioxide combines with water in the presence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase to form carbonic acid, which then dissociates into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions for transport in the blood.
No. Oxygen is transported to cells to be used in ATP production via hemoglobin in our blood.
Carbohydrates are transported in mammals in the form of glucose. Glucose is carried in the blood to tissues where it is either used for energy or stored as glycogen. Transport of glucose is facilitated by specific transport proteins called glucose transporters.
Blood is transported in arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries are the vessels that take blood from the heart. Veins are the vessels that take blood back to the heart, and capillaries are the tiny vessels that attach the arteries and veins. Transport of oxygen and nutrients occurs on the capillary level.
