Oxygen binds (oxygenation) to metalloproteins (like hemoglobin in mammals) in erythrocytes (red blood cells). When the oxygenated metalloprotein reaches a tissue, the environment (low pH, high CO2 partial pressure, etc.) triggers the O2 unloading and CO2 loading. The O2 is then taken up into the tissue.

∙ 13y agoO2 is carried by hemoglobin or dissolved in plasma.
Via the systemic or pulmonary circuits.
So are you asking method? or direction?

Look in the bushes outside. That's me.

Yeast and bacteria respiration is carried out and 2 ATP molecules are produced in the absence of?
oxygen
How could 2 parents with blood type A and B have a child with the blood type of O?
both parents carried the recessive gene for type O blood. the baby then inherited 2 recessive genes and received type O blood. the reason the parents didn't have type O blood is because they carried genes that were more dominant.
What are the 2 blood circuits of the body?
1) From the heart to the lungs and back, where the blood gets oxygenated.2) From the heart to the diverse organs in the body, where the oxygen gets distributed.
Why Biosphere 2 failed?
the biosphere 2 was a limited succes, not everything on planet earth can be carried into a small biosphere human made, it is impossible.
Name 2 things that the blood drop off that the cells use to live?
Blood delivers nutrients and oxygen to cells and takes away carbon dioxide and wastes.
Why carbon dioxide is not carried by the red blood cell?
the red blood cells prefers 2 eat oxygen that is y
What 2 things does your blood supply your body?
Your blood supplies your body with oxygen and nutrients. Oxygen is carried by red blood cells and is essential for cellular respiration, while nutrients such as glucose, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals are transported through the plasma of the blood to nourish cells and tissues.
Yeast and bacteria respiration is carried out and 2 ATP molecules are produced in the absence of?
oxygen
Where does the body get its oxygen from?
Human bodies take air into the lungs and remove oxygen from it (air is about 21% oxygen). In the alveoli (air sacs within the lungs) oxygen passes into the bloodstream where it is absorbed by the chemical hemoglobin in red blood cells. The oxygen is carried to all the cells of the body. The blood cells pick up carbon dioxide that the cells create when they oxidize food to get energy. This carbon dioxide is returned to the lungs, where it leaves the blood and is released from the body when you exhale.
How does hemoglobin function in respiration?
Hemoglobin is involved in transport of oxygen (as well as a small amount of CO2). Hemoglobin contains an iron molecule at the center; it is the site of oxygen binding. When we obtain oxygen through respiration, it binds to hemoglobin in the blood and is then transported throughout the body.
How much oxygen goes into the blood?
98% of the oxygen inhaled enters the blood. However, I do not know where the other 2% goes.
Why a blood have 2 colors?
blood is originally blue but when its exposed to oxygen it turns red
How do circulatory system work?
a The Circulatory System has 2 tubes on oxygenated rube which is blood with oxygen and deoxygenated tube which the blood is not carrying oxygen
What 2 ways do you use plants?
you can use them as decoration, for salads or for oxygen.
How does blood move in a tadpoles system?
A tadpole's circulatory system has one loop and a 2 chamber heart. Oxygen-poor blood goes to the heart from the blood vessels in the body. Then the oxygen-poor blood goes up from the heart through blood vessels in the lungs. Next it comes out as oxygen-rich blood and goes back to the heart. Finally the oxygen-rich blood goes into the blood vessels in the body.

How erythrocyte are structurally designed to carry oxygen?
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) have 3 main adaptions to carry lots of oxygen: >1) they are a biconcave disk shape. This means that they have a large surface area for the gas to diffuse across. >2) they have lots of heamaglobin- this is the red pigment which combines with oxygen to form oxyheamaglobin, allowing the oxygen to be carried by the cell. >3) they have no nucleus. This means that they have more room to carry the oxygen.
