(i) Transport of oxygen: Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells that carry oxygen from the air in the lungs to the tissues where there is a lack of oxygen. (ii) Transport of carbon dioxide: Carbon dioxide is more soluble in water, so it is transported in a soluble state in our blood, it goes out through the nostrils.
