I went for blood cheaking my result says that its hhb what exactly HHB means?
HHb forms when hydrogen ions bind to haemoglobin. This can happen if there is a low blood pH due to high concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood, and it causes haemoglobin to carry less oxygen and release more of it into the tissues.
Oxygen-carrying mechanism of blood?
haemoglobin
What iron - compound carries oxygen in the bloodstream?
Hemoglobin is a protein that contains an iron ion and assists in transporting oxygen in red blood cells. Hemoglobin also helps to transport carbon dioxide and nitric oxide.
Does carbon monoxide bind to hemoglobin or oxygen better?
Carbon monoxide bind easily to hemoglobin.
How oxygen is transported?
Oxygen is transported with the help of Red blood cells as the red blood cells contain haemoglobin to can carry oxygen from one place to another.
What is located in red blood cells and bind to oxygen?
haemoglobin
Why squids blood contains haemocyanin?
Since squids do not have haemoglobin they use haemocyanin to bind and transport oxygen throughout their body.
What does hemoglobin bind oxygen with when it reaches the arteries?
Oxygen is bound to the haemoglobin in the blood in the lung tissues, then this oxygenated blood is returned to the heart for distribution via the arteries.
How does iron affect the transport of oxygen?
Iron is used to form haemoglobin. Haemoglobin in red blood cells are used to bind oxygen to it. With less iron, there would be less haemoglobin to bind oxygen. Thus, less oxygen would be transported in the red blood cell.
What is Hemoglobin's affinity to ethane butane and propane?
I'd expect this to be negligible. The molecules which do bind to haemoglobin are oxygen, carbon monoxide and nitric oxide.
What are the harmfulsubstances in cigarette smoke and why?
Carbon monoxide (CO) Occurs when burning anything. It starves the blood/brain of oxygen by binding with the haemoglobin in the blood making it permanently unable to bind with, and thus carry, oxygen.
Does carbon monoxide bond to hemoglobin more effectively then oxygen does?
Yes - haemoglobin has a higher affinity for carbon monoxide than oxygen. This means that it will bind to carbon monoxide in preference.The binding of carbon monoxide at one site of the haemoglobin increases the affinity for oxygen at the other 3 sites - which may cause problems as the oxygen is not released when it should be.Yes, irreversible while with oxygen reversibleYes, that's why you suffocate if you get stuck in a car with the exhaust coming in. The Carbon Monoxide sticks to your haemoglobin so the oxygen cannot.
Why white cells do not have haemoglobin?
Leucocytes don't contain haemoglobin because function of haemoglobin is to transport Oxygen and WBCs don't have to transport Oxygen.
Why is haemoglobin important?
haemoglobin is important because it can carry oxygen.
What makes erythrocyte effective in delivering oxygen into the different organs of the body?
Erythrocytes are made up of a protein called haemoglobin. This type of protein can bind four molecules of oxygen using one molecule. This makes it an effective carrier of oxygen.
Does haemoglobin contain oxygen?
Yes, this occurs when the haemoglobin is binded with O2 to form oxyhaemoglobin. Haemoglobin is designed and destined to carry oxygen but unfortunately it has more affinity for carbon monoxide which is dangerous.
What is the Oxygen carrying in the blood?
Haemoglobin
