CO binds hemoglobin with a higher affinity than Oxygen. so hemoglobin bound to CO in the pulmonary capillaries will not become oxygenated. CO poisoning leads to hypoxia.
there is one atom of oxygen in Carbon monoxide (CO) i.e. half molecule of oxygen.
The problem with carbon monoxide is that haemoglobin would much rather take it up than oxygen. In fact, haemoglobin has a 500 times greater affinity for carbon monoxide than with oxygen. Without oxygen being transported to our cells, respiration ceases and basic metabolic reactions in our body stop, and we quickly die from carbon monoxide poisoning.
carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water.
plants do not change carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. they, on the other hand, convert carbon dioxide in to oxygen.
Yes
NO!!! The word 'monoxide' indicates that a substance, NOT an element, has one(1) oxygen in its formula. e.g. Carbon monoxide (CO) or Nitrogen monoxide (NO)
When carbon monoxide reacts with oxygen carbon dioxide is formed
Oxygen. Because , mass of carbon monoxide is 28, whereas that of oxygen is 32.
The lungs do not exchange oxygen and carbon monoxide. They exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. They do that in the aveoli.
1 x carbon and 1 x oxygen molecule carbon and monoxide monoxide is one oxygen molecule
Carbon monoxide is a reducing agent.
Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas. It combines with hemoglobin in the red blood cells, and makes it incapable of doing its normal function of transporting oxygen. If enough hemoglobin is incapacitated in this way, a person can die of anoxia. Even if there is not enough carbon monoxide to cause death, it can still impair your normal metabolism by reducing your oxygen supply.
carbon, oxygen
Carbon and oxygen
Carbon monoxide reduces the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin at any given PaO2.
It depends on how much oxygen there is in the area of where is the fire, If the fire has enough or too much oxygen, there is no carbon monoxide, if there is any lack of oxygen, carbon monoxide is produced.
