Answer:

The correct answer would be oxygen and carbon dioxide.

The main function of Red Blood Cells (RBCs) or erythrocytes is to transport oxygen from the lungs to all cells of the body. In addition, it transports carbon dioxide from cells to the lungs from where it is exhaled out.

RBCs contain iron containing biomolecule termed as hemoglobin. It can bind to oxygen as well as carbon dioxide in a reversible manner. It depends upon the partial pressure of the gases in a cell.

For example, at the alveolar site, the partial pressure of oxygen is high which increases the efficiency of hemoglobin towards oxygen. Oxygen then binds with hemoglobin in a reversible manner to form oxyhemoglobin.

At the cellular site, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is higher as compared to that of oxygen. Consequently, oxygen is released and hemoglobin binds with carbon dioxide to form carbamino-hemoglobin.

Radda [10]
<span>Lysosomes are organelles which are responsible for breaking down and digesting wastes in the cell.

Lysosomes and vacuoles have the same functions. Both are enclosed organelle compartments within a cell  and are recycling centers responsible for breaking down substances or complex molecules that goes into a cell. Both are sacs which contain digestive enzymes for breaking down foreign materials, food, and pathogens. Vacuoles are found in plant cells and lysosomes are in animal cells. Vacuoles play an important role in plant’s food production. It stores water and hydration of plants.<span>
