What is the large protein in red blood cells that carry oxygen called?
Hemoglobin
What protein do blood cells use to carry oxygen?
Hemoglobin. It carries oxygen from the respiratory organs to the rest of the body where it releases the oxygen to provide energy to power functions of the body, and then collects the carbon dioxide to take back to the respiratory organs to be dispensed from the body.
What organic macromolecule is responsible for helping red blood cells carry oxygen?
Im pretty sure carbohydrates carry oxygen through your bloodstream
What Substance enables your blood cells to carry oxygen?
The protein contained within blood cells that allows them to carry oxygen is called Haemoglobin. The haemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules which are exchanged for carbon dioxide molecules released as a waste product from cell metabolism.
Which mineral allows red blood cells to carry oxygen?
It is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen and iron to the tissues.
How does a blood cell carry oxygen?
Hemoglobin! It'S a protein found in red blood cells that allows blood to carry oxygen.
What is in the blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen?
Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen. Iron is an important component of hemoglobin.
Is a red blood cell a protein?
No a red blood cell or erythrocyte is not a protein itself. It does however carry the protein hemoglobin, which is responsible for binding and releasing oxygen atoms, depending on the partial pressure of oxygen.
What is the large protein in red blood cells that carry oxygen called?
Hemoglobin
What does your body do with iron?
Iron is an important part of hemoglobin, the protein that helps your blood carry oxygen.
What protein do blood cells use to carry oxygen?

What organic macromolecule is responsible for helping red blood cells carry oxygen?
Im pretty sure carbohydrates carry oxygen through your bloodstream
For what organic function is the protein hemoglbin in the red blood cells important?
The protein hemoglobin binds with oxygen so that the red blood cells can carry oxygen throughout the body. The oxygen is used by the body's cells in aerobic cellular respiration.
What Substance enables your blood cells to carry oxygen?
The protein contained within blood cells that allows them to carry oxygen is called Haemoglobin. The haemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules which are exchanged for carbon dioxide molecules released as a waste product from cell metabolism.
What is responsible for the RBC's ability to transport oxygen and CO2?
It is an iron-based protein called hemoglobin.
Do arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to capillaries?
Systemic Arteries carry oxygen rich blood (also called oxygenated blood). Pulmonary Arteries carry oxygen poor (deoxygenated) blood
Is blood in the arteries in rich in oxygen?
By definition, ALL arteries carry Oxygen rich blood. Veins carry oxygen depleted blood.
