Oxygen is transported through blood mainly by:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Erythrocytes
- Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells (RBCs), function to transport Oxygen in the blood.
- They do so with the help of Haemoglobin, a respiratory pigment.
- The shape and structure of Erythrocytes are ideal for this function.
- They lack a nucleus and few other organelles so that maximum space in the cell can be used to accommodate Haemoglobin molecules.
- Leucocytes are involved in immune response while Thrombocytes are involved in blood clotting.
- Blood plasma does not contribute to O2 transport.
- Thus, option B is correct.
