Why do we have iron in our bodies?
Iron is part of the substance haemoglobin. This is the substance in red blood cells which enables us to carry oxygen around the body.
What part of the blood carries oxygen?
The red blood cells carry the oxygen in blood.
Where does the blood absorb oxygen in human body?
the blood absorb oxygen in the lungs(cappilaries)
Why is oxygen needed in blood?
Because your cells need oxygen. Blood has Hemoglobins inside it, which carry oxygen.
Where is the place oxygen enters the blood?
Oxygen enters the blood in the alveoli of the lungs
What is in the blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen?
Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen. Iron is an important component of hemoglobin.
What enables red blood cells to carry oxygen?
Hemoglobin.
What component of a red blood cells enables it to carry oxygen?
The hemoglobin in the red blood cell allows it to carry oxygen.
What in your blood cells enables them to carry oxygen?
think is hemoglobin. or something like tht...
What part of the red blood cells enables it to carry oxygen and carbon dioxide?
haemoglobin
Actual molecule in rcbs that enables the blood cells to carry oxygen?
Hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells that allows the blood to carry oxygen. Iron is one of hemoglobin's main components.
What is blood system?
The circulatory system enables the flow of blood throughout the body so that the organs can receive vital nutrients as well as carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What Substance enables your blood cells to carry oxygen?
The protein contained within blood cells that allows them to carry oxygen is called Haemoglobin. The haemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules which are exchanged for carbon dioxide molecules released as a waste product from cell metabolism.
What is blood circulatory system?
The circulatory system enables the flow of blood throughout the body so that the organs can receive vital nutrients as well as carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What carries the oxygen rich blood and what carries the cabon dioxside rich blood?
Oxygen rich blood is physically transported by arteries; which lead away from the heart. Oxygen depleted blood is transported back to the heart by veins. Arteries are bigger than veins and are set deeper within the body. Within the veins and arteries are red blood cells that technically "carry" the oxygen. Red blood cells are composed of the protein haemoglobin which is rich in iron. It is the iron that enables the red blood cells to "carry" the oxygen by forming a chemical bond with the oxygen atom.
Why do we have iron in our bodies?
Iron is part of the substance haemoglobin. This is the substance in red blood cells which enables us to carry oxygen around the body.
What other characteristic does a red blood cell have that enables it to perform its function optimally?
-Has a large biconcave surface area to carry more oxygen -Contains haemoglobin, so when reacted with oxygen turned into oxy-haemoglobin for transportation -Has no nucleus to carry more oxygen
