Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemoglobin is responsible for binding and carrying oxygen in red blood cells. If its levels are decreased, the transportation of oxygen to the body's tissues will be compromised. Thrombocytes (platelets) are responsible for clotting, white blood cells are involved in immune function, and plasma is the liquid part of blood that carries nutrients, hormones, and proteins. While all are important components of blood, they do not play a significant role in oxygen transportation.
