What is responsible for the RBC's ability to transport oxygen and CO2?
It is an iron-based protein called hemoglobin.
What is the role of iron ions in oxygen transport?
In metalloproteins, metal ions are usually coordinated by nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur.
Where does oxygen go after being inhaled by mouth?
Oxygen after inhalation is absorbed by hemoglobin of blood in the lungs and from there it is distributed in the entire body through blood streams.
How does oxygen reach the body's cells?
Through the blood. Oxygen is drawn in by the lungs, binds to hemoglobin proteins within erythrocytes (aka red blood cells), and the erythrocytes are then pumped by the heart throughout the body, supplying all cells with oxygen.
What component of blood carries oxygen around the body?
The hemoglobin or "red cells".
What is the role of the hemoglobin in the body?
to transport oxygen
Are proteins necessary to transport oxygen to body?
A protein (hemoglobin) is required to transport Oxygen around the body.
What are the functions of hemoglobin?
takes oxygen and circulates it through the body
What protein is involved in O2 transport?
It's hemoglobin in red blood cells. Oxygen binds to iron ions in hemoglobin and is being transpored through out the body that way.
What is responsible for the RBC's ability to transport oxygen and CO2?
It is an iron-based protein called hemoglobin.
What transports oxygen to cells in body?
ways of transporting oxygen (presumably in the human body you are referring to) it is carried in the blood as part of the circulatory system-it is picked up from the lungs through alveoli -majorly carried in the blood as oxyhaemoglobin (oxygen combined with haemoglobin in red blood cells) -some can be dissolved in the blood plasma
What allows hemoglobin content?
Basically hemoglobin is intended for oxygen transport from lungs to brain, muscle and whole body as needed...
What carries oxygen around?
In the blood, hemoglobin loosely grabs oxygen for transport to the body cells. The red blood cells (erythrocytes) have the iron (from hemoglobin) that takes the oxygen for a ride.
What is hemoglobin carry to the cell?
Hemoglobin carries oxygen to the body's tissues. It is found in erythrocytes.
What is the job of the red blood cell?
They carry out oxygen throughout the body. They also contain hemoglobin.
The molecule responsible for carrying oxygen through the human body is?
hemogoblin
The red pigment in the blood cells can combine with large amounts of oxygen?
The blood cells are called hemoglobin. The hemoglobin transport oxygen from the lungs to all other parts of the body.
