Answer:

Oxygen is carried by blood to all the cells of the body in the form of haemoglobin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oxygen is carried in the blood in two forms:

(1) dissolved in plasma and red blood cells water (about 2% of the total)

(2) reversibly bound to haemoglobin (about 98% of the total).

Haemoglobin is a protein in the red blood cells and carries oxygen around our bodies. At the same time, carbon dioxide that is dissolved in the blood comes out of the capillaries back into the air sacs, ready to be breathed out.
