What else can I help you with?
Do red blood cells bind with anything?
Yes. Mostly oxygen.
Where is most of the iron in blood located?
The iron in blood is contained in hemophytes in Red Corpuscles.
What cell carries oxygen or food to your lungs?
its red blood cells or corpuscles which carry oxygen to other cells of the body the oxygen is bind to a red pigment i.e. heamoglobin present in blood cells
What is directly related to hemoglobin?
As far as the obvious: Red Blood Cells, Oxygen, and Iron. Hemogloblin is Iron Based, and is used in Red Blood Cells to Bind Oxygen for transport.
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.
Where do the red cells drop the oxygen off?
Red blood cells drop off oxygen to tissues and cells in the body through the process of diffusion in capillaries. Oxygen molecules bind to hemoglobin in red blood cells in the lungs and are released when the red blood cells reach tissues with lower oxygen concentration.
What is the molecule that binds oxygen red blood cells?
Hemoglobin is the molecule that binds oxygen in red blood cells. It consists of four protein subunits, each containing a heme group that can bind to oxygen molecules.
What protein does oxygen attach to in red blood cells?
Oxygen attaches to the protein hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin contains heme groups that bind with oxygen molecules, allowing for efficient transport of oxygen throughout the body.
What molecules in red blood cells contains the oxygen?
The hemoglobin molecule in red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen.
Are there oxygen cells in the muscle system?
I dont think there are such things as oxygen cells. However, there are red blood cells (erythrocytes) that have hemoglobin, a molecule that oxygen can bind to. Throughout literally every cell in your body, there are capillaries. These capillaries deliver red blood cells to all of your cells, including your muscle cells.
How much oxygen is generally transported in combination with hemoglobin in red blood cells?
Each hemoglobin molecule can bind to up to four molecules of oxygen. In red blood cells, hemoglobin typically transports around 98-99% of the oxygen in the blood.
Which substance in red blood cells joins with oxygen?
Hemoglobin is a complex protein with iron groups inside it that bind to oxygen.
