What is the molecule formed when hemoglobin binds to oxygen molecules?
It forms a compound called oxyhemoglobin. And when it combines with carbon dioxide it makes carboxyhemoglobin.
Most carbon dioxide in the blood is carried bound to hemoglobin?
No, Unlike oxygen, Carbon Dioxide is mostly disolved in the blood plasma only about 23% is disolved in hemoglobin
What carry hemoglobin that binds to oxygen and picks up wastse?
Carbon dioxide and oxygen
What is the function of hemoglobin in the red blood cell?
Hemoglobin is what carries oxygen to all of the cells in your body and gets rid of carbon dioxide through gas exchange in the lungs. We breath in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
Does CO2 bind at the same site on the hemoglobin molecule as O2 If not where does CO2 bind?
No. Carbon monoxide binds to the same site as oxygen, i.e. the central iron. Carbon dioxide binds to the globin molecule.
What regulates respiration?
The build up of CO2 ( Carbon Dioxide ) in the blood is what regulates the need to breath in most animals
What kind of pollutant that binds to hemoglobin?
carbon monoxide
How are oxygen and carbon dioxide transported on the same hemoglobin molecule?
Oxygen binds with the iron atoms of hemoglobin molecules while carbon dioxide bonds with the amino groups of these molecules. Because oxygen and carbon dioxide do not directly compete for binding sites, hemoglobin molecules can transport both at the same time.
Which chemical in tobacco smoke binds to hemoglobin?
The chemical from tobacco smoke that binds with hemoglobin causing red blood cells to carry less oxygen is carbon monoxide.
Why carbon dioxide is not poisonus?
I'm guessing the question means, why is carbion DIoxide safe, while carbon MONoxide is poisonus. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin molecules and displaces oxygen due to a higher affinity. Red blood cells have separate receptors for carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is produced naturally in our body as a byproduct of cellular respiration and is carried away by the red blood cells. Since it does not compete for hemoglobin like carbon monoxide, it is not dangerous.
Where does oxygen pass into your blood?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood in the lungs and binds to the hemoglobin since the oxygen concentration is high and the carbon dioxide concentration is low. The blood is pumped to the body. The hemoglobin releases the oxygen to the tissues because here, the concentration of oxygen is low and that of carbon dioxide is high.
What is an erythrocyte's job?
An erythrocyte's main job is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs for elimination. This process is facilitated by the red blood cell's hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen and carbon dioxide.
