What condition would your body be in if your red blood cells couldn't deliver oxygen?

Answer 1

There are two ways in which the body produces energy.

It can do it in two ways:

Aerobic ( Oxygen + Glucose -> Carbon Dioxide + Water Vapour + Energy) respiration and anaerobic respiration ( Glucose -> Lactic acid + Carbon Dioxide. The body usually uses aerobic respiration when there is enough oxygen because aerobic respiration produces more energy. However, when you are sprinting or doing something similar, anaerobic respiration is used when the supply of oxygen is not as large as the demand. Anaerobic respiration produces less energy and lactic acid is produced causing cramps in muscles and possibly more serious problems.

If humans only held oxygen in the blood and had no access to oxygen, brain activity would only happen for 15 seconds before blacking out. In three minutes with zero oxygen your brain would die.

Answer 2

You would be on deaths door step if not dead already. Carbon monoxide, which is present in car exhaust, does this to your red blood cells. It takes the place of the oxygen molecules leaving no room for the oxygen. so the effect would be similar.

Red blood cells can carries oxygen because of their shape. Sickle cell anemia, which gets it's name from it's shape, cannot carry oxygen. The disease can completely block blood vessels, resulting in: infections, strokes, dehydration, and severe pain. Sickle cell anemia shows the effects of some oxygen being taken away, but now all.

Answer 3

What would happen is....

• Your body would not have enough oxygen to be delivered to the rest of your body/ major organs (brain)
• This being said, it would make your lungs work harder/ make breathing more difficult, in order to attempt to bring in enough oxygen to the body/ blood cells
• Clotting as well as the transmission of nutrients would become lessened more difficult for your body.

Answer 4

A change in heart rate and different breathing pattern

Answer 5

if the red blood is lacked of oxygen,the body cells would die of lack of energy,and the person would die(practially choking)

Answer 6

If red blood cells couldn't deliver oxygen to your cells they would die. Oxygen is the final electron receptor in the election transport chain where most of the cells ATP is formed.

Answer 7

You die!
