What color changes does hemoglobin go through during loading and unloading of oxygen?

When saturated with oxygen it is called oxyhaemoglobin and is a bright red colour. After haemoglobin releases oxygen to the body tissues, it reverses its function and picks up carbon dioxide, the principal product of tissue respiration, for transport to the lungs, where it is expired. In this form, it is known as carboxyhaemoglobin and it is a purply-red colour.

What would happen if your red blood cells did not have hemoglobin?
you would die. hemoglobin attaches to oxygen to carry it through the body.
What organic substance transports oxygen through the bloodstream?
hemoglobin
The molecule responsible for carrying oxygen through the human body is?
hemogoblin
Why does oxygen leave the hemoglobin when it passes through the resting tissues?
The oxygen is carried by Hemoglobin to the Tissues! What happens is, that there's something called the Allosteric Inhibition! Which means, when the Hemoglobin reaches the tissue, there will be lots of Co2 released in the tissue, during release of energy, the partial pressure of co2 inside the tissue will be high, so that with pressure gradient, it will travel outside the tissue to the artery and then into the hemoglobin where it binds to different sites and when that happens, it allosterically inhibits the Hemoglobin molecule to let go of Oxygen, and the oxygen is bounded as per cooperativity which means when one oxygen is bounded it will be easier for others to get bound to it, and in the same way when co2 attaches itself to the Hemoglobin, the oxygen start to disassociate as the Hemoglobin changes its shape and once one oxygen molecule leaves the hemoglobin it would be harder for the molecule to hold on to the rest of the 3 molecules! So in such way the oxygen leaves the hemoglobin!
The molecule responsible for carrying oxygen through the human bodyis?
hemoglobin
What is the meaning of symbol synchronization?
To notify you that it is going through, and it's loading.
What protein is involved in O2 transport?
It's hemoglobin in red blood cells. Oxygen binds to iron ions in hemoglobin and is being transpored through out the body that way.
What do the red blood cells contain?
The red blood cells contain hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is made in such a way that it can carry oxygen which is transported to cells.
What is the chorus for going through changes?
I'm going through changes I'm going through changes Don't know what I'm gonna do, but I just keep on going through changes...
What does the hemoglobin in red blood cells release as blood travels through the capillaries?
As red blood cells travel through capillaries oxygen is released (disassociated) with hemoglobin. The oxygen then diffuses down it's concentration gradient into the tissues.
What is discharge?
mucus that comes out a girls vagina when she is going through developement/ periods
Separation of hemoglobin and riboflavin by gel chromatography?
The hemoglobin can pass through the gel first because it has a higher molecular weight, or larger molecule which could not pass through the pores of the beads in the gel, while the riboflavin would flow slower.
