Question

Which type of cells carry oxygen and carbon dioxide?
A)bone cells
B)fat cells
C)muscle cells
D)white blood cells
E)red blood cells

Accepted Answer

Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and pick up carbon dioxide to bring back to the lungs to be exhaled. Bone cells, fat cells, muscle cells, and white blood cells do not play a significant role in carrying oxygen and carbon dioxide.
