Where are the blood type proteins found?
blood type proteins are found on the surface of the red blood cells that are like id tags
What are The blood proteins A and B?
The blood proteins A and B are antigens found on the surface of red blood cells that determine blood type. Individuals with blood type A have A antigens, while individuals with blood type B have B antigens. Blood type AB individuals have both A and B antigens.
A persons blood type depends on the presence or absence of certain proteins called?
A person's blood type depends on the presence or absence of certain proteins called antigens on the surface of red blood cells. These antigens determine whether a person's blood type is A, B, AB, or O.
Does blood type determine what types of foods one should eat?
Yes, certain blood types require special diets. Blood type A requires that the person eat plenty of soy proteins, grains, and vegetables. People with blood type A should exercise lightly.
What blood type has no clumping proteins?
Type 'O'
Can a person with blood type AB donate blood to a person with blood type A explain?
Each blood type has it's identifying proteins, and will reject blood with the wrong proteins. Type A blood is anti-B, type B blood is anti-A, type O blood has both, and type AB blood has neither. Imagine if someone with AB blood tried to donate to someone with A. AB blood has identifying proteins A and B. The type A blood would recognize the B proteins and kill the cells. The same thing would happen with B, which would recognize the A proteins and kill the cells. Type O blood would recognize and reject both the A and B proteins and reject them. However, if someone who is type AB gives to AB people, their blood does not destroy neither protein A nor B, so it would accept it.
How can I determine my blood type.?
You cannot determine your blood type from a website. You should go to your doctor and have your blood tested. Ask your doctor what blood type you are.
What is a blood factor and a type of ape?
A blood factor refers to specific proteins found on the surface of red blood cells that determine blood type, such as the ABO system or the Rh factor. An example of an ape is the chimpanzee, which is one of the closest living relatives to humans.
Which human blood group lacks proteins in the red blood cells?
Blood type O lacks the antigen proteins of A and B. Blood type O is the universal donor.
How is your blood type determaned?
There are two important blood types: the ABO blood type and the Rhesus blood type. ABO is the A, B, AB, or O blood type, and the Rhesus type is the + or - usually written after the ABO blood type (eg. AB+ or O-). At the level of your blood, blood type is determined by proteins present on the surface of red blood cells, which circulate around your body delivering oxygen to cells. On the surface of red blood cells is a combination of three surface proteins: A, B, and Rhesus. Blood types code for the presence or absence of these proteins. Blood type A have A type surface proteins but lack B. Blood type B lacks A but has B proteins. Blood type AB has both, and Blood type O has neither A nor B. Rhesus positive exhibit the Rhesus protein, while Rhesus negative lack it. It is these proteins which determine which types of blood you can receive safely. Individuals with A type blood cells cannot be exposed to B type surface proteins safely, so B and AB blood is off the cards for them. O negative blood lacks any of these proteins so can be transfused into any patient, hence the term "universal donor". It is your genes which determine which of these proteins are expressed. As with the majority of genes you have two copies of both the ABO and Rhesus genes, one copy from your mother and one from your father. From each parent you inherent either an A, a B, or an O gene, and also either a Rhesus positive (Rh+) or a Rhesus negative (Rh-) gene. The combination of the two genes you have determines your blood type as follows: AA or AO = A Blood type BB or BO = B Blood type AB = AB blood type OO = O Blood type Rh+Rh+ or Rh+Rh- = Rhesus positive Rh-Rh- = Rhesus negative
I still cant understand can anyone help me understand what is a blood type?
Blood type refers to the nature of proteins found on your blood cells. These proteins are responsible for many processes within the body. Your blood type is determined by genetics.
What is the easiest way to determine my blood type?
You don't have to know your blood type to donate. When you get to the donation site they will test your blood with a small sample to determine your type.
