Hemoglobin/haemoglobin (two different spellings of the same thing). It's a protein made up of four separate protein chains, each of which has a heme group, which has as its central feature a porphyrin ring containing an iron atom. This is what gives red blood cells their characteristic color (which is actually more of a dark purple than red when carbon dioxide is bound to the heme groups).

∙ 11y agoSome carbon dioxide can bind to the hemoglobin in red blood cells forming a compound called carboxyhemoglobin. Most carbon dioxide, however, gets transformed into a product called bicarbonate ion which is more soluble in the blood than carbon dioxide.

Which part of the blood carries the most Carbon Dioxide?
The Veins carry de-oxygenated blood Haemoglobin, a chemical in red blood cells carries both carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What substance in the blood controls the rate of respiration?
A substance in the blood that controls the rate of respiration is Carbon Dioxide. It stimulates the brain that controls the respiratory rate.
What structures of the circulatory system carry blood containing carbon dioxide from the body back to the heart?
The part of the circulatory system that carries either oxygen or carbon dioxide is blood.
What of these is a waste product of cells blood water oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide and water
What carries blood to and from the body cells?
The heart pumps the blood through the arteries to the cells, and then through the veins back to the heart.
What is a substance which allows the red blood cells to carry oxygen and iron?
A red blood cell carries Oxygen and Carbon DIoxide
What substance in blood carries oxygen?
Red blood cells in blood carry oxygen throughout the body. The actual chemical substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin also carries carbon-dioxide when passed through capillarys, the part where the carbon dioxide is exchanged with the oxygen. capillaries are a cell thick for the lower blood presure.
What blood part carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled?
The haemoglobine found in the red blood corpuscles carries the carbon dioxide in the form of carboxyhaemoglobin .
What process carries oxygen to and carbon dioxide away from cells?
Respiration is the process that carries oxygen to the cells and removes carbon dioxide from them. Blood carries the oxygen to the cells.
What substances carry in blood?
Red blood cells in blood carry oxygen throughout the body. The actual chemical substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin also carries carbon-dioxide when passed through capillarys, the part where the carbon dioxide is exchanged with the oxygen. capillaries are a cell thick for the lower blood presure.
What carries oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body?
Blood.
What does the blood carry away from body cells?
Blood carries carbon dioxide out of cells.
What are the waste gas that blood carries away from these cells?
Carbon dioxide
What is the major function of the blood in your body?
It carries carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What carries oxygen to all cells and removes carbon dioxide?
Blood.
What carries carbon dioxide enriched blood back to the heart?
veins
What type of blood cell carries carbon dioxide away?
red
