How are oxygen and carbon dioxide transported on the same hemoglobin molecule?

∙ 8y ago
Oxygen binds with the iron atoms of hemoglobin molecules while carbon dioxide bonds with the amino groups of these molecules. Because oxygen and carbon dioxide do not directly compete for binding sites, hemoglobin molecules can transport both at the same time.

oxygen binds to haem(iron) part of haemoglobin while carbon dioxide binds to the globin(protein) part so they can't compete they can be transported at the same time but not in the same vessels , oxygen in artey while carbon dioxide in veins except on pulmonary vessel.

How is carbon dioxide carried in the blood?
In three forms85% as bicarbonate5% dissolved CO210% bound to hemoglobin as carbaminohemoglobin .It dissolves in plasmaconverts into bicarbonate ion andbinds to hemoglobin.
When heated a metal carbonate decomposes in to a metal oxide and a?
the metal carbonate decomposes into a metal oxide and carbon dioxide
What does iron give to your body?
Iron in the hemoglobin molecule binds to oxygen and carbon dioxide, allowing the hemoglobin to transport oxygen from the lungs to the cells and carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs so it can be exhaled.
What elements are found in carbon dioxide?
What elemets are in CO2? The two main elements of CO2 are: 1. Oxygen 2. Carbon
Is carbon dioxide a particle?
A carbon atom is made up of six neutrons and six electrons.
Carbon dioxide transported in the blood?
describe how carbon dioxide is transported in the blood
Which part o the hemoglobin molecule does carbon dioxide attach?
Hemoglobin refers to a red protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood of vertebrates. The part of the hemoglobin molecule that carbon attaches to is the heme molecule.
How is most carbon dioxide transported in?
Carbon dioxide does not transport oxygen. Carbon dioxide is a molecular compound in which each molecule contains one carbon atom covalently bonded to two oxygen atoms by the sharing of electrons. Hemoglobin, a protein molecule that contains iron ions, is the molecule that transports oxygen. The oxygen combines with the iron in the hemoglobin.
What do you call hemoglobin in the urine?
Hemoglobin is a molecule that is bound to a red blood cell and it helps with the transportation of carbon dioxide and oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin in the urine is called hemoglobinuria.
What are concave disks with a squashed in center that transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
What are concave disks with a squashed-in center. they transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
How is carbon dioxide transported in blood?
via the red blood cells. They are converted to bicarbonate and attached to the hemoglobin of the erythrocytes, or red blood cells.
What does hemoglobin do after it leaves the cells and returns to lungs?
The carbon dioxide is released as the other parts of the hemoglobin molecule pick up more oxygen for a return trip to the cells.
What jobs do the Red Blood Cells do?
The red blood cells carry oxygen that is transported to the different organs in the body and absorbs carbon dioxide from the organs that is transported to the lungs where it is exhaled out of the body. The protein hemoglobin helps to bind oxygen and carbon dioxide in the red blood cells.
Is carbon dioxide a macro molecule?
No, as molecule go carbon dioxide is a small, simple molecule.
Does CO2 bind at the same site on the hemoglobin molecule as O2 If not where does CO2 bind?
No. Carbon monoxide binds to the same site as oxygen, i.e. the central iron. Carbon dioxide binds to the globin molecule.
Carbon dioxide is transported through the blood primarily as?
The molecule haemoglobin, which transports oxygen around the body (when it can be called oxy-hamoglobin) also transports the oxides of carbon, carbon dioxide (and, usually to a far lesser extent, carbon monoxide); when it is known as carboxy-haemoglobin.
