What occurs during gas exchange?
External Respiration is where gasses are absorbed into the blood through the alveolar capillary beds. Internal respiration is where the gasses are transferred into the cells from the blood.
What percentage of water is in red blood cells?
there is 43% of water in the red blood cells
Why purification of blood also referred to as gaseous exchange?
The blood carries both nutrients (food) and wastes to and from cells. At the lungs carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen and at the kidneys blood is filtered and wastes and some water is lost. Most of the water is retained.
What has a higher percentage blood or water in the body?
Water As blood is made from water and blood cells.
What is the making of blood cells?
Water is the biggest "substance" in making blood. Blood is about 97% water.
Is pure water hypertonic to red blood cells?
Yes, because there is no sodium in the solution.
Is staining what you call it if you diluted a blood sample with distilled water and the red blood cells burst?
You can certainly expect the blood cells to stain the water as their cell membranes rupture from being in a hypotonic solution. The term that describes this is "To lyse". Blood cells lyse in distilled water.
What functions do the capillaries do in the cardiovascular system?
They enable the exchange of water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and many other nutrient and waste chemical substances and between blood and surrounding tissues.
Can you show the diagram of the overall flow of water in the red blood cells?
Water is the only molecule in your body, which can move freely in the body cells. The movement depends most of the time on physical need of the tissue. When you are thirsty, water may become less in red blood cells. When you drink water, water enters the red blood cells. Most of the times water that enters the red blood cells is replaced by same amount of water. I hope that you can draw the diagram, now.
Do the red blood cells transport water?
no
What will happen to red blood cells when they are placed in a beaker containing a water solution in which the salt concentration is higher than the salt concentration in the red blood cells?
It's one of these answers: a. The red blood cells will absorb water and increase in size. b. The red blood cells will lose water and decrease in size. c. The red blood cells will first absorb water, then lose water and maintain their normal size. d. The red blood cells will first lose water, then absorb water, and finally double in size. A is wrong, just let you know. Still trying to figure out the answer myself.
Why does the blood that flows to the fish's heart lack oxygen?
It's because a process called gas exchange has taken place in the fish's body. Oxygenated blood is pumped throughout the body, and the cells in the body take out oxygen and put in carbon dioxide (gas exchange). The blood returning to the heart of the fish is deoxygenated, and it will have to eventually go to the gills. There, the carbon dioxide (CO2) will get dumped into the water and oxygen (O2) will be picked up from the water at the same time in another gas exchange.
