The job of the red blood cell is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. IT does NOT remove the carbon dioxide.

Red blood cells carry hemoglobin, which in turns binds to and transports oxygen through the body.

They're scary! I don't think the bloody red cells will be as active now as they were in the Sixties, and certainly they pose less of a threat to Western civilisation than muslim cells do, but red cells are getting noticably stronger again. In Spain, they even have red government. If I lived there, I would **** my cell, for sure.

The Red blood cell contains haemoglobin which is an iron containing protein.Now...in the lungs,oxygen combines with this haemoglobin in the RBC to form oxyhaemoglobin which is taken to the various body tissues...then upon utilization, CO2 is produced which has more affinity for haemoglobin than Oxygen ....it combines with it to form carboxyhaemoglobin...which is then taken back to the lungs where reoxygenation takes place..

To transport oxygen around the body. The oxygen attaches itself to haemoglobin found in the cell.
I agree with the first answer. It has NOTHING to do with CO2

Storage, transport and exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in a protein called hemoglobin.

it get O2 to all cells in your body...+ takes CO2 from all cells to the lungs..
Hemoglobin is the thing that connect with O2 & co2 with the help of iron..
