The Red Blood Cells that are located within the blood-plasma. Within the RBCs, biochemical Heme molecules - with an Iron atom at their center - transport O2 from the alveoli to the capillaries.

What is common in chlorophyll and haemoglobin?
1) chlorophyll is made from a porphyrin ring structure, similar to heme in hemoglobin 2) chlorophyll is used for energy transfer processes (similar to the cytochrome systems of animals)
What is the advantage of living systems having a molecule such as ATP?
ATP is a molecule that carries energy somewhat like a battery carries energy. It has 3 phosphate groups, the last one has a high energy bond which is broken whe energy is needed to drive metabolic systems.
Which organ systems contain the lungs?
The Respiratory System includes the lungs.
Which two sensory systems contain structures called maculae?
vestibular and visual
Which organ systems do those parts belong?
The question does not contain enough information to be answered.
What body systems contain hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin (also spelled haemoglobin and abbreviated Hb or Hgb) is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in red blood cellsCardiovascular specifically carries hemoglobin in RBCcardiovascular system...
What systems carries oxygen to blood?
Hemoglobin, contained in red blood cells, carries oxygen to the body's cells via the circulatory system.
What are the causes of the conginital form of mehtemoglobinemia?
One cause is a defect in the body's systems to reduce methemoglobin to hemoglobin. The other cause is a mutant form of hemoglobin called hemoglobin M that cannot bind to oxygen.
Why should the increased affinity of crocodile hemoglobin for bicarbonate ion allow the crocodile to hold its breath for long periods of time?
Like most systems in the body (any body) the oxygen delivery system doesn't work at 100% efficiency - it's just good enough to keep us going. The blood returning to the heart and lungs hasn't given up all the oxygen it carries, just some of it. In crocodiles, as more bicarbonate ions attach to the hemoglobin cell, it loosens the hold on the remaining oxygen, allowing it to be released to be used by the body. So the crocodile hemoglobin/oxygen system is more efficient than a human's, and that lets them go longer without breathing, if they have to.
What factors determine the color of an animal's blood?
Oxygen and hemoglobin. Without oxygen, human blood is blue, and animals with the same colored blood would be blue without oxygen, but since oxygen flows through most animals systems, their mostly red. Besides that of the octopus, which has blue blood due to hemocyanin. The ocelated icefish has a lack of both hemoglobin and hemocynin, leaving its blood clear. The Papua New Guinea skink however has green blood due to the fact that the skink uses biliverdin in its blood, leading it to turn green. Overall, hemoglobin and hemocyanin are the two causes of blood color, along with their byproducts. Hope it helps!
What systems share the responsibility of supplying cells of the body with oxygen and disposing of carbon dioxide?
The blood (circulatory system) carries oxygen to your lungs (respiratory system). Oxygen binds to the hemoglobin molecule in your blood and is carried back to the heart, then pumped out to the other parts of the body.
Which two gases are exchanged in the aveoli?
At the aveoli, the blood transfers CO2 and the hemoglobin on red blood cells picks up 02.
What is the major buffer system in human blood?
Buffer systems help to maintain constant plasma pH. There are three buffer systems - Protein buffer system, phoshate buffer system and bicarbonate buffer system. Among this, bicarbonate buffer system is the most predominant. Buffers function as "shock absorbers" that accept excess H+ ions or OH- ions and keep blood pH constant. For example, if there is an increase in acidity of blood due to excess HCl (a strong acid), then NaHCO3 (Sodium bicarbonate) will buffer it to a weak acid (H2CO3). HCl+NaHCO3 = NaCl+H2CO3
What does blood need to make red blood cells?
Blood is the only fluid connective tissue in our body. It passes through every single blood capillary, tissue, and organ in our body. Hemoglobin in our red blood cells carry oxygen which is essential to the function of all the organ systems in our body.
What carries the digestive systems to your cells?
The bllod stream
How do the Circulatory and Respiratory Systems interact?
The heart pumps blood into the lungs where the blood is oxygenated. The blood is then returned to the heart and the newly oxygenated blood is circulated to the rest of the body.The respiratory system performs a process known as gas exchange that releases carbon dioxide from the body and brings in oxygen. This occurs in the lungs and the circulatory system then transports the oxygen to tissues that used internal respiration to burn fuel in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for energy, thus creating more carbon dioxide.You breathe in oxygen into your lungs. The oxygen diffuses across the thin walls of the alveoli in the lungs and the thin walls of the blood vessels in the lungs into the blood stream. Here it attaches to the hemoglobin molecules inside red blood cells. The red blood cells are carried by the blood vessels to all parts of the body. The hemoglobin releases oxygen in the periphery, and picks up carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 attached to the hemoglobin molecules in the red blood cells is then transported to the lungs, where it diffuses across the walls into the alveoli, and is breathed out.You breathe in oxygen into your lungs.
