Carbon monoxide blocks the ability of the blood to oxygenate the body because it?
Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells more readily than oxygen, forming carboxyhemoglobin. This reduces the amount of oxygen that can be transported in the blood to tissues and organs, leading to oxygen deprivation.
What brings oxygen to cells?
various reasons. the blood is responsible for delivering oxygen to the cells. as a result anything blocks the blood from reaching the cells will limit the oxygen. or some intoxication such as CO toxicity which replace the place of oxygen in the blood.

What carries nutrients to the body's cells?
The bloodstream carries nutrients to the body's cells. Nutrients from the food we eat are absorbed in the digestive system and then transported via the bloodstream to cells throughout the body, providing them with the necessary energy and building blocks for proper functioning.
How does glycoprotien cause red blood cells to clump?
Glycoproteins on the surface of red blood cells play a crucial role in cell recognition and interaction. When antibodies, which are proteins produced by the immune system, bind to specific glycoproteins (antigens) on the surface of red blood cells, they can cross-link multiple cells together. This cross-linking leads to agglutination, or clumping, of the red blood cells. This process is important in blood typing and can also be a factor in transfusion reactions.
What Three things that are carried around the body in the blood plasma?

What are the buliding blocks of your bodies?
The building blocks of the human body are cells. Cells are the basic unit of life and are organized into tissues, which then form organs. Organs work together to carry out specific functions in the body, such as digestion or respiration.
