Q. What part of the blood carries minerals, vitamins, sugar, and other foods to the body’s cells?

Body Fluids and Circulation

Solution:

Plasma is the liquid part of blood. It carries nutrients (from food consumed) to the cells. Platelets are plate-like structures that help stop bleeding. Red blood cells consist mainly of haemoglobin (an oxygen-carrying protein) that gives them their red colour. White corpuscles fight diseases and germs. Some kinds of white blood cells kill bacteria by surrounding and digesting them. Other kinds produce antibodies and proteins that make invaders harmless.
