Red blood cell is loaded with hemoglobin which picks up oxygen when its partial pressure is greater and offloads it where its partial pressure is less.RBC also picks up carbon dioxide on the same principle. A major amount of carbon dioxide is converted into the carbonic acid by the carbonic anhydrase enzyme present in the RBC.
In nutshell, RBC is a carrier of oxygen and carbondioxide to and fro tissues and lungs.

The red blood cells than transport the carbon dioxide from the cells because of breaking down the nutrients.
