What else can I help you with?
What is the special molecule in red blood cells called?
The special molecule in red blood cells is called hemoglobin.
What special substance is found in red blood cells?
Hemoglobin is found in the red blood cells.
What is special about white blood cells?
they are white and not red
What is the name of the special protein in red blood cells?
hemoglobin
Where are new red blood cells reproduced?
In Bone Marrow, where they replace ones that die in the blood. Dead red blood cells sink to the bottom of the blood vessel where they are "cleaned" (eaten) by special cells.
What special substance is found in red blood cells and what does it do?
Red blood cells carrie oxegen to the different parts of your body allowing you to function and live.
How are red blood cells cells adapted to their function?
Red blood cells transport oxygen from the lungs to all the cells in the body. To do so effectively, they have lots of adaptations: Red blood cells contain haemoglobin, which is a molecule that reversibly binds to oxygen. Red blood cells have no nucleus, so that there is more room for haemoglobin in the cell. Red blood cells have a biconcave disc-like shape (it is thinner in the middle than at the edge) which increases the surface area. Red blood cells are very flexible which means they can pass through the narrow capillaries easily.Key word is explain, so must ensure that there is a link between identifying a feature/adaptation of a red blood cell and how this feature allows them to perform a specific function more effectively
Which animal has the largest red blood cells?
Mammals have red blood cells that vary in size for different species. However, llamas are known to have some of the largest red blood cells among mammals, which is a feature that helps them adapt to high altitudes.
Where are red blood cells destroyed as they wear out?
Red blood cells are destroyed in the spleen once they have reached the end of their lifespan, which is typically around 120 days. The spleen contains special cells called macrophages that engulf and break down the old red blood cells.
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
Does every part of the body have red blood cells?
As the name says, red blood cells are found in the blood. If there is blood there, there is red blood cells.
What cells are in the bloodstream?
The cells in the bloodstream include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, and platelets aid in blood clotting.
