Explanation:
Blood supports growth by distributing nutrients and hormones, and by removing waste. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which binds oxygen. These cells deliver oxygen to the cells and remove carbon dioxide. Blood plays a protective role by transporting clotting factors and platelets to prevent blood loss after injury.
