____ transports oxygen from lungs to body.
A
Platelets
B
White blood cells
C
Red blood cells
D
Plasma
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Haemoglobin molecules inside red blood cells pick up and carry the oxygen. These oxygen-rich cells travel in the blood vessels from the lungs to the left side of the heart. The blood is then pumped around the body. Red blood cells are adapted for the transport of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hemoglobin is the protein that carries oxygen and exists within each red blood cell. If your red blood cell was a vehicle, hemoglobin is in the driver’s seat, picking up oxygen at the lungs and transporting it to the tissues throughout your body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Red blood cells carry oxygen from our lungs to the rest of our bodies. Then they make the return trip, taking carbon dioxide back to our lungs to be exhaled.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hemoglobin (Heme + Globin) The protein hemoglobin is a molecule which is responsible for carrying almost all of the oxygen in the blood. It is composed of four subunits, each with a heme group plus a globin chain.

Detailed explanation-5: -How does oxygen get into the bloodstream? Inside the air sacs, oxygen moves across paper-thin walls to tiny blood vessels called capillaries and into your blood. A protein called haemoglobin in the red blood cells then carries the oxygen around your body.
