Oxygen is carried by hemoglobin contained in red blood cells present in blood.There is army of 25 trillion red blood cells to perform this function. Carbon bi oxide is tranported in plasma and red blood cells in disolved state. Plasma can carry only 4 ml/ litre of oxygen as against 900 ml/ litre of carbon bi oxide.
What else can I help you with?
How O2 and Co2 are transported around the body?
Oxygen is transported around the body by binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells, which then circulate through the bloodstream to tissues that need oxygen. Carbon dioxide is transported mostly in the form of bicarbonate ions in the blood, with a smaller amount carried bound to hemoglobin or dissolved directly in plasma.
Do CO2 bind to hemoglobin in the same binding site as O2?
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) binds to a different site on hemoglobin than oxygen (O2). CO2 primarily binds to the amino groups of the protein portion of hemoglobin, forming carbaminohemoglobin. This is an important way that CO2 is transported in the blood.
What happens to CO2 which collects in human body?
CO2 in the body is transported in the blood to the lungs, where it is exhaled out of the body during respiration. A build-up of CO2 can lead to respiratory acidosis, a condition that can affect the body's pH balance.
How CO2 come out from your body?
When we breathe in oxygen, it is transported to our cells where it is used to produce energy through a process called cellular respiration. During this process, carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced as a waste product. The CO2 is then transported back to our lungs and exhaled when we breathe out.
What is the balanced chemical reaction of CO2---CO O2?
This reaction is:2 CO2 = 2 CO + O2
How is oxygen and carbon dioxide transported in humans?
O2 and Co2 are transported throughout human body by blood. 97% of O2 combines with haemoglobin of RBCs to form oxyhaemoglobin within the lungs. The oxyhaemoglobin then gives out O2 to all the cells. The remaining 3% gets dissolved in blood plasma. 70% of CO2 gets dissolved in blood plasma to reach the lungs from the tissues. The remaining contents of Co2 then combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin to reach the lungs from the tissues.
What substance needed by the body cells enters the body through the lungs?
O2 and Co2, but we breathe out the Co2 again + the O2 which is converted in more Co2

Why do you have a lungs?
to expel CO2 from your body and to allow O2 into your bloodstream
Three major characteristics of the respiratory system?
1)Breathing2) Transport of O2 from the lungs to the rest of the body; transport of CO2 from the tissues back to the lungs3) O2 diffuses from Red Blood Cells into body cells; CO2 moves into the blood

A waste gas that is transported in the veins from the body to the lungs via the heart?
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Where does the blood go after it was pump to the body?
it will go back to the lungs carrying CO2 to exchange with O2
What describes the role of lungs in gas exchange A takes in O2 from blood B produces CO2 as a cellular respiration waste C extracts O2 from the atmosphere for body cells D gives CO2 to capillaries?
It extracts oxygen from the atmosphere for use by body cells.
What element supports all animal and plant life?
co2 and o2
