Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most of the oxygen is transported bound to hemoglobin within red blood cells. Only a small amount of oxygen is transported dissolved in plasma. Carbon dioxide is not a form of oxygen transport, as it is a waste product of cellular respiration. Oxygen is not bound to proteins, but rather to hemoglobin specifically.
