Copper, and other metals are often used sparingly by the body in the formation of certain enzymes and protein structures. IRON is a prime example as it forms the bases of the protein Hemoglobin which transports gases through the body. Unlike iron, the body needs very little copper to function properly, in fact, copper helps the body to absorb iron for creating red blood cells. Most copper in the body is limited to metal-containing enzymes, the copper has to be transported through the body to where it's needed, so there is a small, small amount of copper in the blood (while its transported to organs where its needed).
The protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues throughout the body.
Hemoglobin is the iron containing protein in our red blood cells that combines with and carries oxygen.
Copper in plasma is mainly carried by ceruloplasmin, a copper-binding protein. Ceruloplasmin promotes copper transport in the blood and helps regulate copper levels in the body.
Protein transports Lipids in the blood.
Hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells, transports oxygen in the blood
hemoglobin
In the blood of vertebrates and some invertebrates iron ions bound in a protein complex called hemoglobin transports oxygen. In the blood of many invertebrates copper ions bound in a protein complex called hemocyanin transports oxygen. However it is very likely that unbound sodium ions in the blood plasma outnumber the iron ions or copper ions in either case.

Hemoglobin.
More than 95 percent of the protein in a red blood cell is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein that binds to oxygen and transports it throughout the body.

A copper cable transports electrical signals. An optical cable transports light signals.
Ferritin is a protein that functions to store iron in the body. Transferrin is a protein that transports iron in the blood.
