What condition occurs when hemoglobin is deprived of oxygen?
Cyanosis
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 fish deprived from oxygen?
they will swim around at the surface of the water
What happens when the heart is deprived of oxygen?
we will die
What is site of aerobic respiration?
it happens in all cells in the body when they are deprived of oxygen.
Name the substance in red blood cells that combines with oxygen?
The protein "Hemoglobin" is responsible for the red color. Each hemoglobin molecule can bind up to 4 oxygen atoms. When fully loaded with oxygen atoms the protein takes on a more bright red color. When deprived of oxygen the protein takes on a darker red/blue color.
What happens when you put a flame into carbon dioxide fumes?
The flame will go out as it is deprived of oxygen.
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 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.
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.
What is the oxygen in the blood transported by?
Oxygen in the blood is transported by hemoglobin.
What part of the blood cell carries oxygen?
hemoglobin
