Red blood cells,carrying dioxide(a waste product of cellular respiration) travel in the blood vessel to the lung; to get rid of

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Red blood cells or erythrocytes carry oxygen to the cells of the body so that they can have energy and function properly. This is not the only function of red blood cells. Also, they carry dioxide, which is a waste product that needs to be out of our body. Erythrocytes carry the dioxide to the lungs, specifically to the alveoli. In the alveoli due to the inhalation, oxygen enters our body traveling up to the lungs, specifically to the alveoli, where thanks to the thin wall of it as well as the one on the capillaries that are in contact with it, the dioxide enters the lungs to be expelled in the exhalation, and the oxygen is taken by the red blood cells to be used in the cellular respiration and generate energy to keep the vital functions of our body.

Kristen cut her hand on a piece of glass. As the blood clots, how do white blood cells prevent bacteria on the glass from infect

gayaneshka [121]

So white blood cell’s(WBCs for short) main job is to fight infections.
They do this by swallowing the infection.

You see,WBCs do not have a permanent shape.this means that they enlarge and decrease size of parts of their body.So they grow two long arm like structures called pseudopodia which swallow the infection.(pseudopodia means false feet).
You can see the process in the photo I attached from google
