Is the iron in a car the same as iron in your blood?
YES! it is found in our blood it helps the blood system it help blood clots NOT to happen.
What are the products of hemoglobin breakdown?
Hemoglobin molecules liberated from red blood cells are broken down into subunits of heme, an iron containing portion, and globin, a protein. The heme further decomposes into iron and a greenish pigment called biliverdin. Biliverdin eventually is converted to an orange pigment called bilirubin.
The heme portion of damaged red blood cells is first decomposed into iron and what else?
biliverdin. u have mrs. cochran?
Where is iron found in a hemoglobin?
Haemoglobin is found in red blood cells in the blood. Its function is to carry oxygen to all parts of the body through oxygenated blood.
What would happen if the was gone?
Iron is a major component of red blood cells. The oxygen you breathe bonds to the iron in your red blood cells. If you had no iron in your body you would likely die.
What is the processes through which Red Blood Cell components are recycled?
Macrophages in the spleen, liver and red bone marrow phagocytize the worn out RBCs. The heme and globin portions are split apart. The globin is broken down into its amino acid components to be used for other proteins. The iron is removed from the heme portion where it is eventually transported back to the red bone marrow to be incorporated into new RBCs. The non-iron portion of heme goes through a series of chemical conversions that eventually end up as stercobilin in the large intestine which is what gives feces its characteristic brown color.
What happen when copper sulphate is stored in iron vessel?
Since iron is a more active metal than copper, the iron would replace the copper in the copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate, and releasing elemental copper. The copper will not shape itself into a copper vessel, so eventually, the iron sulfate would leak out of the iron vessel, and eventually, if there is enough copper sulfate, the iron vessel will cease to exist.
What is the iron-containing portion of the hemoglobin molecule called?
The iron containing part of hemoglobin is the 'heme' molecule.
Does anemia eventually become a blood disorder?
Anemia is a blood disorder, but is often easily controlled and temporary. In women of childbearing age, anemia is often due to iron deficiency.
Is there iron in human blood?
Yes there is iron is blood
Is the earths core made of liquid iron?
The outer portion of the core is mostly molten iron. The inner core is solid metal.
Why body need iron?
Iron is what binds to the oxygen in red blood cells (the hemoglobin and myoglobin): low iron (anemia) means that a large portion of red blood cells are unable to bind then carry the oxygen to other tissues in the body - they start to starve for oxygen. Too much Iron also is a problem but it rarely happens unless a person takes too much in a supplement (iron poisoning) or has a birth defect called hemochromatosis (dystopic blood-color: too much red )
