When blood cells have oxygen they are red, when they have no oxygen they are a darker shade of red. The more haemoglobin the blood contains the more oxygen is going to attach to the iron which is the most important element of the haemo-globin.

How cany ou tell if a blood cell is carrying oxygen or not?

Blood cells that are carrying oxygen will appear bright red, while blood cells that are not carrying oxygen will appear darker in color (usually dark red or purplish). This change in color is due to the presence or absence of oxygen-binding molecules like hemoglobin within the red blood cells.

What carry oxygen rich blood away from the heart?

Major arteries like the aorta transfer oxygenated blood from the heart to the body tissues.Coronary arteries are those branches from the major aorta that feed the heart with oxygenated blood.Arteries are the vessels which carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, except for the pulmonary artery, which is the only artery (besides umbilical arteries inside of a fetus) that carries deoxygenated blood. The pulmonary artery carries blood away from the heart into the lungs.The thing that carries oxygen in your blood is the protein hemoglobin.Arteries always carry blood away from the heart. Veins always carry blood back to the heart. Not all arteries carry high O2 blood. Not all veins carry low O2 blood. They are named for where they go not what they carry.
