How many oxygen can your red blood cells carry?

it can carry up to four molecules of oxygen.

Explanation:

Because each molecule of hemoglobin contains four globins.

Red blood cells bring oxygen to cells and take carbon dioxide away.

Further Explanation

Blood is a major tissue in the body that carries out various important roles.

Blood is composed of various components. These includes:  

Red blood cells

White blood cells

Platelets

Hemoglobin gives blood the red color and also helps carry oxygen from the lungs all the other parts of the body and also carry carbon dioxide to the lungs for exhalation.  

Adaptations of red blood cells

Biconcave in shape, this is to enhance movement of the red blood cells in the blood vessels
