Do platelets contain hemoglobin?
No. Haemoglobin is a substance found in only red blood cells.
Which blood cells do not contain hemoglobin?
Only Red Blood Cells (RBCs) contain hemoglobin. The white cells do not and the platelets (fragments of cells) do not.
Are hemoglobin found only in the walls of your heart?
No. Hemoglobin is found in every red blood cell in your body.
Do hematocrit and hemoglobin content of blood measure the same thing?
Hematocrit and hemoglobin content of blood measure are not the same thing. The hematocrit, also known as the HCT, is the percentage of RBC in the blood volume. Hemoglobin, on the other hand, also known as HGB, is the measurement of protein in the blood.
Do red blood cells have more hemoglobin than white blood cells?
Yes! All red blood cells are only hemoglobin encased in a membrane. White blood cells do not carry much hemoglobin, becasue they have every other organelle like the ER, nucleus, and golgi apparatus to name a few. Red blood cells don't even have a nucleus! Their sole purpose is to give hemoglobin to the blood. When red blood cells are being made in the marrow, they have organelles but once they are mature, everything is taken out and they become hemoglobin carriers, with nothing else. So finally, red blood cells have much more hemoglobin than white blood cells.
What the red blood cells contain which give them the red color?
Red blood cells contain platelets. Hope this helped! (:
What helps blood carry oxygen?
The only part of the blood which carries oxygen are the red blood cells. These blood cells contain what is known as hemoglobin, which is the most efficient part of the cell, and the only part of the cell, that can carry oxygen.
Does blood type O contain hemoglobin?
Yes. All blood types have hemoglobin. The ABO blood groups only refer to a sugar on the surface of red blood cells. Blood type O do not have this sugar.
What transport oxygen through the blood?
They are the red blood cells. P.S. the haemoglobin is only a pigment of red blood cells.
What is the only human cell without nucleus?
Red blood cells (erythrocyte) do not contain nuclei. In case you're wondering where the DNA they get from a blood sample comes from, it is taken from the white blood cells (leukocytes) which do contain nuclei.
Do some cells contain organelles but not others?
Almost all cells contain organelles, but there are some which do not. Red blood cells do not contain organelles, they only contain hemoglobin.
What cell allows certain materials to pass out and in?
All cells need to expel waste. Red blood cells are known for taking in oxygen and distributing it throughout the body. That only happens because red blood cells have hemoglobin inside, which oxygen binds to, and the hemoglobin releases it at appropriate times.
