How much iron is in 1 gram of hemoglobin?
There is approximately 3.47 mg of iron in 1 gram of hemoglobin.
What kind of chemical is in your red blood cells that can pick up oxygen and carbon dioxide?
hemoglobin it contains Iron (Fe) which is why its important to get a source of iron in your diet Each hemoglobin can carry 4 oxygen molecules-if oxygen was not bound in hemoglobin the blood would not be able to have a high enough saturation to supply tissues Carbon dioxide does not use hemoglobin as much as oxygen and more carbon dioxide can be dissolved in the blood itself compared to oxygen Also using the bicarbonate buffer CO2 is converted into HCO3- which can be even more dissolved in the blood than CO2 alone
What turns blood red?
The protein hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, changes shape when it binds oxygen. When it changes shape, it absorbs different wavelengths of light, making it change color. When blood is exposed to air, much more of the hemoglobin absorbs oxygen than had in the vein the blood came from (in the veins, the hemoglobin has already given up most of its oxygen to the body). Therefore, the blood turns red.Source(s):http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/bi…
How much does oxide cost per gram?
It depends upon the nature and element (Other than oxygen) of oxide.
How much ammount of oxygen needed to burn 1 gram of coke?
Approx. 2 g, depending on the percent of carbon in coke.
How much oxygen is transported by 1 gm of hemoglobin in blood?
1.33 grams of oxygen is carried by each gram of normal healthy hemoglobin.
How much iron is in 1 gram of hemoglobin?
There is approximately 3.47 mg of iron in 1 gram of hemoglobin.
What is the purpose of pulse oximeter?
A pulse oximeter measures the blood's oxygen levels. Usually attached to a person's finger, it measures the amount of hemoglobin saturated by oxygen. It uses two wavelengths of lights which are used to make the calculation based on how much of the wavelength is absorbed by the hemoglobin.

How do you spell hemoglobin?
That is the correct spelling of "hemoglobin" (also haemoglobin) for the iron-based protein that holds oxygen in red blood cells.
How much oxygen can a mole cule of hemoglobin carry?
.2341268 lbs.
How much oxygen is actually utilised by the muscles?
Look up a hemoglobin oxygen-binding curve, that will tell you.
What are the factors that affect hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen?
The primary factor that determines how much oxygen is actually bound to hemoglobin is the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the hemoglobin solution.
What is the maximum o2 that can be carried in arterial blood?
The maximum amount of oxygen that can be carried in arterial blood is approximately 20.2 mmol/L. This is equivalent to about 98.5% of the oxygen that is dissolved in the plasma. The remaining 1.5% is bound to hemoglobin and is termed oxyhemoglobin. The amount of oxygen that can be carried by the blood is dependent on the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood as well as the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment which is why the amount of oxygen that can be carried varies in different environments. The following factors affect the amount of oxygen that can be carried in arterial blood: Hemoglobin concentration Oxygen saturation of hemoglobin Partial pressure of oxygen in the environmentHemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and carries it throughout the body. The concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is an important factor in determining how much oxygen can be carried. The oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is determined by the partial pressure of oxygen in the environment. This means that the amount of oxygen that can be carried in the blood varies in different environments. For example in a high-altitude environment where the partial pressure of oxygen is lower the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is also lower resulting in less oxygen being carried in the blood.
How much oxygen is generally transported in combination with hemoglobin in red blood cells?
70%
How much of the ultraviolet radition from the sun is absorbed by oxygen and ozone?
Most of it is absorbed. UV is the harmful radiation of the sun.
What is the function of oximeter?
The pulse oximeter (or oxymeter) measure the oxygen saturation of hemoglobin. If the hemoglobin levels are normal this will give an estimate of how much oxygen is being delivered to the tissues and if abnormal can suggest lung or heart disease.
