They will have a better oxygen transport in their blood, this is why endurance athletes use doping substances or high altitude training to increase their hemoglobin levels. The drawback of a high hemoglobin level is that your blood is more likely to form thrombosis and cause stroke or heart attacks.

What happens to the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin as temperature increases?
"What happens to the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin as temperature increases?" "What happens to the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin as temperature increases?" "What happens to the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin as temperature increases?"
What happens to the globin portion of the hemoglobin?
Nothing
What happens if your hemoglobin level is below 5?
your heart can failure
When a chromosome puffs what happens to hemoglobin production in the cytoplasm?
The skin becomes softer and more supple
What happens if you have 12.3 hemoglobin i am a female?
Depending what measurement of Hgb method you are using you are borderline anemic
What happens if you have a hemoglobin deficiency?
The blood's oxygen transport mechanism depends upon hemoglobin, so a person with no hemoglobin would immediately succumb to anoxia, unless such a person were to be placed in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
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!
What kinds of work hemoglobin does in the blood?
Hemoglobin is a molecule which is consist of 4 HEM groups and a protein named globin. Major duity of hemoglobin is to transfer CO2 and O2 between the tissues and the blood, but those are not the only molecules that can bind to hemoglobin. CO and some other molecules can too and when that happens O2 saturation may go severely down.
What happens to an oxygen gas when it reaches an alveolus?
It defuses throught the respiratory membrane and binds to hemoglobin (in humans) following a hemoglobin type-specific binding affinity curve (depending on the Po2 of the local atmosphere.)
What happens when hemoglobin is degraded?
The part of the blood that is responsible for carrying oxygen is hemoglobin. The hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs. Then the hemoglobin releases the oxygen at the cells. The part of the hemoglobin molecule that is directly responsible for carrying the oxygen is the iron ion in the center of the molecule's structure. The iron ion changes from a Fe +2 ion to a Fe +3 when carrying the oxygen. Then the hemoglobin reaches the cell, the iron ion decomposes back to the more stable Fe +2 state, replacing the oxygen with a water molecule.
After hemoglobin is broken down into heme and globin what ultimately happens to the heme?
Heme is decomposed into iron and biliverdin
Is Hemoglobin a lipid?
No, hemoglobin is a protein.
