3.White blood cells
4.hemoglobin
5.can receive blood from a person with any blood type.
6.c or d

2. is plasma

You are correct for all of the except 6. The answer is d, all of the above.

thanks !

I apologize, I should have caught 2 as well. Plasma carries waste to the kidneys for excretion.

To answer these questions, we can break them down and explain the reasoning behind each answer:

2. Which of the following is responsible for carrying nutrients to and waste from the body’s cells? (1 point)
The correct answer is red blood cells. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to the body's cells. Additionally, red blood cells also carry waste, such as carbon dioxide, away from the cells.

3. __________ defend the body against disease. (1 point)
The correct answer is white blood cells. White blood cells are a key component of the immune system and are responsible for defending the body against disease-causing pathogens.

4. Which molecule transports oxygen in red blood cells? (1 point)
The correct answer is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that has a high affinity for oxygen. It binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to the body's tissues.

5. A person with the blood type AB ______________ (1 point)
The correct answer is "can receive blood from a person with any blood type." The blood type AB is known as the universal recipient because individuals with this blood type can receive blood from donors of any blood type without experiencing an immune reaction.

6. Which of the following occurs if a person is given the wrong type of blood during a blood transfusion? (1 point)
The correct answer is either "Red blood cells clump" or "Clots form in the blood vessels." When a person is given the wrong blood type during a transfusion, their immune system can react adversely, leading to the clumping of red blood cells and formation of blood clots. In severe cases, this can result in serious complications or even death.
