Carboxyhaemoglobin (carbon dioxide rich blood) is a red-purple colour.
Oxyhaemoglobin (Oxygen rich blood ) is deep red
Carbonmonoxyhaemoglobin (Blood containing carbon monoxide) is bright red
Aside: Some people think some blood is blue because veins (containing CO2 rich blood) appear blue. This is due to the colour of the veins and the colur absorption of the tissues. Octopi and horseshoe crabs do have blue blood because they use copper, not iron, to transport oxygen.
Carbon dioxide filled with blood is a dark red
Oxygenated blood is red. The presence of carbon dioxide in the blood does not alter the color.
The systemic circulation brings oxygen-filled blood to the body tissues, and returns carbon-dioxide filled blood to the heart. The pulmonary circulation brings carbon-dioxide filled blood to the lungs.
After looking into this it seems that it would be carbon dioxide, water, and light. I have yet to find that color has any effect.
Carbon dioxide is colorless.
red blood cell
the red blood cells
Carbon dioxide gas is colorless
Blood is a lighter color when carrying oxygen and darken when carrying carbon dioxide. If the blood was dark, it was probably carrying carbon dioxide at the time it was taken. If it's black, it's polluted with something or your kidneys/liver are having problems.
the red blood cells carry carbon dioxide and oxygen that it gets from the lungs when you breath.the blood gets its color from when the red blood cells pick up the oxygen. oh and by the way red blood cells are also called erthrocytes
it is blood that is rich in carbon dioxide rather than oxygen on the way back to the heart . the oxygen has been delivered to the body and carbon dioxide has replaced the oxygen. Blood that has released its oxygen. It is dark red in color with a tinge of blue. It is a common misconception that deoxygenated blood is blue. Oxygen bonds to hemoglobin in the blood cells and is transported to where it is needed in the body where it exchanges with carbon dioxide. Deoxygenated blood is found in veins and in the pulmonary artery.
yes without plant carbon dioxide can still turn the water green
Its called hemoglobin. it also gives the color to red blood cells, when carrying oxygen, and the bluish color when they carry carbon dioxide.
