when a red blood cell come into contact with the oxygen, the hemoglobin present in red blood cell produce a compound named " oxyhimoglobin", and thus it carries oxygen.

The mineral that makes the red blood cells crimson red?
The Answer Is Circulatory System That Makes Blood Cells RED ! it is the heme part of the haemoglobin that gives blood cells their bright red colour.
What makes up about 40 percent of normal blood and transport oxygen to the body?
Red blood cells (corpuscles)
What makes blood red?
The oxygen-rich hemoglobin.The pigment that makes blood red is known as haemoglobin. it helps blood to carry oxygen.
How do red blood cells impact metabolism?
Most of your metabolism is aerobic. (it uses oxygen to produce energy) Red blood cells carry oxygen to your cells. So your red blood cells can act like a gas pedal on a car for your metabolism rate. If you get more red blood cells to your body faster, then your metabolism will increase. (This increase will only happen up until it hits a limit) This is why supplements that claim to increase your metabolism are often just herbs with caffeine added. Caffeine makes your heart rate increase and this makes your metabolism speed up slightly.
What does the stuff do in a red blood cell?
Red blood cells have the important job of picking up oxygen from the lungs and carrying oxygen to all of the other cells of the body. The cells of the body use oxygen as the fuel they need to do their jobs.Red blood cells also give you color. If your skin is white the red blood cells give you the pink color in your skin. They also give your lips a nice pink color.The way we measure the Red Blood Cells is by measuring the Hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein that makes up the Red Blood Cells.When the Hemoglobin level is below 8 grams, the cells of the body do not receive enough oxygen to do their jobs and your body may begin to feel differently.Your heart must also pump harder.
What are the substances carried by blood and their functions?
Blood carries oxygen through out your body. Your lungs inhale oxygen and the blood cells carry the oxygen to your heart. Then the heart makes more blood cells to carry more oxygen to pump more blood.
What gives a body structure and makes red blood cells?
The skeleton give structure to the body as well as protects organs and parts of it make red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells.
What is in carbon monoxide that makes it so dangerous?
Carbon monoxide binds to the hemoglobin in the red blood cells preferentially to oxygen. So the affected red blood cells do not carry oxygen to the body cells. This starves the cells of oxygen and they will then die.
What part of the body makes red and white blood cells?
No.Platelets are primarily for clotting.White blood cells are primarily for immunity.Red blood cells are primarily for oxygen carrying.
What is oxygen carrying capacity of the red blood cells due to?
Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is able to bind to oxygen molecules. Therefore, the presence of hemoglobin the red blood cells makes them capable of carrying oxygen.
The mineral that makes the red blood cells crimson red?
The Answer Is Circulatory System That Makes Blood Cells RED ! it is the heme part of the haemoglobin that gives blood cells their bright red colour.
What makes red blood cells red and able to transport oxygen?
It is the haemoglobin in the cells which allow them to carry oxygen and its also the reason they are red as haemoglobin is red.
What makes up about 40 percent of normal blood and transport oxygen to the body?
Red blood cells (corpuscles)
Why hemoglobin have quarternary structure?
It has this four part structure because it can carry 4 irons. That makes it capable of carry as much oxygen as it possibly can. When this structure was first described, others said that it is way too big to work and would not fit in red blood cells. But it does work and the body gets the oxygen it needs.
What is the substance in blood that makes blood cells?
The heme group of the oxygen binding hemoglobin gives blood it's red color.
Why is hemoglobin present in red blood cells?
It makes the red blood cell much better at carrying oxygen!! It can absob oxygen easily and doesn't "leak" oxygen as the blood travels to the body tissues where the oxygen is needed!
Protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the body?
oxygen makes your blood red. The Lungs put lungs into your blood system.
