No. Its by a protein carrier.

Is the iron in a car the same as iron in your blood?
YES! it is found in our blood it helps the blood system it help blood clots NOT to happen.
What is oxygen transported inside the red blood cells?
Still oxygen (O2). It is transported as such by iron atoms that can bind one oxygen molecule through ion-induced dipole forces. Possibly you are looking for the transporter, which is hemoglobin.
What element is transported by your red blood cells?
Iron..Part of hemoglobin in red blood cells ; transports oxygen
How are the reactants and products of respiration transported in the bloodstream?
oxygen is bound to haemaglobin in the red blood cell and transported around the body Carbon dioxide is transported either dissolved in the blood plasma, as a carbamino compound or in a red blood cell
Is there copper in blood?
Copper, and other metals are often used sparingly by the body in the formation of certain enzymes and protein structures. IRON is a prime example as it forms the bases of the protein Hemoglobin which transports gases through the body. Unlike iron, the body needs very little copper to function properly, in fact, copper helps the body to absorb iron for creating red blood cells. Most copper in the body is limited to metal-containing enzymes, the copper has to be transported through the body to where it's needed, so there is a small, small amount of copper in the blood (while its transported to organs where its needed).
What is the carrier protein in iron in blood?
white blood cells
Why red not purple blood?
The oxygen carrier in most mammalian blood is iron - oxygenated iron is red. In the old TV show "Star Trek", Mr. Spock's Vulcan blood was green, because in Vulcan blood, the oxygen carrier was copper - and coppers oxides are green.
Is there green blood?
Yes, some "primitive" animals use a copper based oxygen carrier molecule in their blood (which is thus green in color) instead of the iron based oxygen carrier molecule we use.
Is the iron in a car the same as iron in your blood?
YES! it is found in our blood it helps the blood system it help blood clots NOT to happen.
Which mineral is needed for the blood transportation of oxygen?
The molecule of the protein haemoglobin has at its centre an atom of iron, as the central part of the molecule is an iron complex. This is why you need the mineral iron in your diet. Without sufficient iron in the diet the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is lowered, and you will soon become anaemic.

What element is transported by your red blood cells?
Iron..Part of hemoglobin in red blood cells ; transports oxygen
What carries the oxygen rich blood and what carries the cabon dioxside rich blood?
Oxygen rich blood is physically transported by arteries; which lead away from the heart. Oxygen depleted blood is transported back to the heart by veins. Arteries are bigger than veins and are set deeper within the body. Within the veins and arteries are red blood cells that technically "carry" the oxygen. Red blood cells are composed of the protein haemoglobin which is rich in iron. It is the iron that enables the red blood cells to "carry" the oxygen by forming a chemical bond with the oxygen atom.
Why is iron not stored or transported in its free form?
iron can not be storde or transported in its free form because is toxic. so it stored inside of cells as ferritin and hemosiderin
In plasma iron is transported bound to what?
Transferrin
What is both a componet of steel and is found in the hemoglobin of red blood cells?
Iron
How does iron affect the transport of oxygen?
Iron is used to form haemoglobin. Haemoglobin in red blood cells are used to bind oxygen to it. With less iron, there would be less haemoglobin to bind oxygen. Thus, less oxygen would be transported in the red blood cell.
