Best Answer

Iron is used in the hemoglobin in blood, and aids in the transportation of oxygen throughout the body.

If the blood was merely water without iron and hemoglobin, it would not have the capacity to dissolve sufficient oxygen to feed the needs of the human body, or to transport the waste carbon dioxide back to the lungs.

Lead will sometimes displace the Iron, but does not carry the oxygen which could effectively cause a lack of oxygen.

Hemoglobin, which is found in the blood, is made of four proteins and inside each protein is a heme or iron. Oxygen binds to the iron and is carried to various parts of the body.

How can compounds and elements be helpful?

Iron is an element. Carbon is an element. Steel is a compound. Iron is strong, but it is heavy. Carbon is fairly weak in comparison to iron, but is light weight. Steel is a compound of Iron and carbon. Steel is stronger than iron, but also lighter. By having the understanding of how to make steel, we can make taller buildings because they aren't as heavy as iron buildings. The taller the structure, the heavier it gets. At some point, the structure gets too heavy for the base of the structure and the whole thing collapses.
