What gas is found in cigarette smoke that stops the blood carrying to much oxygen?
Carbon Monoxide takes the place of oxygen on the red blood cells, so less oxygen can be carried around the body
What responsible for the transport of oxygen the body tissues and removal of carbon dioxide?
red blood cells
What is responsible for the RBC's ability to transport oxygen and CO2?
It is an iron-based protein called hemoglobin.
Why is oxygen important to blood and other cells?
Oxygen is needed for respiration. This is how all our cells release energy. All the body cells and white blood cells therefore need oxygen. Red blood cells don't use oxygen, they undergo anaerobic respiration, but they transport the oxygen needed by other cells.
What part of the blood carries oxygen?
The red blood cells carry the oxygen in blood.
What is blood responsible for?
Blood is responsible for carrying nutrients and oxygen to your cells. Also a way to dump out waste from the cells.
Which system is responsible for carrying oxygen to muscles?
The circulatory system (blood) moves oxygen through the body to the cells.
What is responsible for picking up the oxygen in lungs and carrying it to all the body cell that need it?
The red blood cells in the blood are responsible for picking up the oxygen in the lungs.
What type of blood cell is primarily responsible for carring oxygen in the blood stream?
Red corpuscles (red blood cells) carry oxygen in the bloodstream.
Why the red blood cells number is largest?
Because it is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body
What cells are responsible for carrying oxygen and nutrients to body cells?
The cells that transport oxygen throughout the body are red blood cells.Red blood cells contain a pigment called haemoglobin which the oxygen molecules bind to, forming oxyhaemoglobin. When the cells reach the target body tissues, this binding is reversed and the oxygen is released.
What are the interactions between red blood cells and important molecules cells and organs?
They are responsible for carrying oxygen to other parts of the body
What blood cell carries oxygen and carbon dioxide gases on them?
Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) are responsible for carrying oxygen (or carbon dioxide) around the body.
What cells in the blood carrying oxygen call?
Red blood cells
What is a 10 letter word that helps the oxygen-carrying parts of the red blood cells?
Hemoglobin is the oxygen carrying molecule in red blood cells.
Do red blood cells produce anitbodies?
No. Red blood cells are responsible for carrying oxygen around the body. Antibodies are produced by a type of white blood cell called a plasma cell.
What color are red blood cells carrying oxygen?
then they are red if they are not carrying oxygen then they are a purple red.
