Answer

Blood is a red colour fluid connective tissue.

$\rightarrow$ Blood cells are red blood corpuscle (erythrocytes), white blood corpuscle (leucocytes) and platelets.
$\rightarrow$ Plasma transports food, carbon dioxide, salts and nitrogenous wastes in dissolved form. Oxygen is carried by red blood corpuscles.
The features for an effective transport system are as follows:
