What is hemoglobin's function in a red blood cell?
Hemoglobin binds with oxygen so that the red blood cells can carry oxygen throughout the body.
Which chemical in tobacco smoke binds to hemoglobin?
The chemical from tobacco smoke that binds with hemoglobin causing red blood cells to carry less oxygen is carbon monoxide.
What are the functions of hemoglobin?
takes oxygen and circulates it through the body
Which chemical in tobacco smoke binds to hemoglobin causing red blood cells to carry less than their normal load oxygen?
Carbon monoxide
Which mineral allows red blood cells to carry oxygen?
It is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen and iron to the tissues.
What do hemoglobin carry to the cells?
oxygen
What component of a red blood cells enables it to carry oxygen?
The hemoglobin in the red blood cell allows it to carry oxygen.
Which chemical in tobacco smoke binds to hemoglobin causing red blood cells to carry less then their normal load of oxygen?
CO (carbon monoxide). It binds to the same sites on hemoglobin that oxygen would, except with a much greater affinity than oxygen does. Think of hemoglobin as a bus transporting oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues, and think of CO as the guy who takes oxygen's seat so that he can't ride the bus. CO is also the chemical that kills people in house fires from smoke inhalation.
What is hemoglobin carry to the cell?
Hemoglobin carries oxygen to the body's tissues. It is found in erythrocytes.
What does the blood carry with it as it goes to the tissues or cells of the body?
Blood contains a chemical called hemoglobin which binds oxygen and is also able to bing a small amount of carbon dioxide.
What component of cigarette smoke affects the ability of hemoglobin to carry oxygen the around the body?
Carbon monoxide, Actually it binds with haemoglobin and forms carboxyhameoglobin and hinders the transport of oxygen.
For what organic function is the protein hemoglbin in the red blood cells important?
The protein hemoglobin binds with oxygen so that the red blood cells can carry oxygen throughout the body. The oxygen is used by the body's cells in aerobic cellular respiration.
