What cell carries oxygen or food to your lungs?

its red blood cells or corpuscles which carry oxygen to other cells of the body the oxygen is bind to a red pigment i.e. heamoglobin present in blood cells


Where do the red cells drop the oxygen off?

Red blood cells drop off oxygen to tissues and cells in the body through the process of diffusion in capillaries. Oxygen molecules bind to hemoglobin in red blood cells in the lungs and are released when the red blood cells reach tissues with lower oxygen concentration.

What jobs do the Red Blood Cells do?

The red blood cells carry oxygen that is transported to the different organs in the body and absorbs carbon dioxide from the organs that is transported to the lungs where it is exhaled out of the body. The protein hemoglobin helps to bind oxygen and carbon dioxide in the red blood cells.


What is oxygen carrying capacity of the red blood cells due to?

Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is able to bind to oxygen molecules. Therefore, the presence of hemoglobin the red blood cells makes them capable of carrying oxygen.


What is the molecule that binds oxygen red blood cells?

Hemoglobin is the molecule that binds oxygen in red blood cells. It consists of four protein subunits, each containing a heme group that can bind to oxygen molecules.

Are there oxygen cells in the muscle system?

I dont think there are such things as oxygen cells. However, there are red blood cells (erythrocytes) that have hemoglobin, a molecule that oxygen can bind to. Throughout literally every cell in your body, there are capillaries. These capillaries deliver red blood cells to all of your cells, including your muscle cells.


How does glycoprotien cause red blood cells to clump?

Glycoproteins on the surface of red blood cells play a crucial role in cell recognition and interaction. When antibodies, which are proteins produced by the immune system, bind to specific glycoproteins (antigens) on the surface of red blood cells, they can cross-link multiple cells together. This cross-linking leads to agglutination, or clumping, of the red blood cells. This process is important in blood typing and can also be a factor in transfusion reactions.
