Why is oxygen important to blood and other cells?
Oxygen is needed for respiration. This is how all our cells release energy. All the body cells and white blood cells therefore need oxygen. Red blood cells don't use oxygen, they undergo anaerobic respiration, but they transport the oxygen needed by other cells.
Why is oxygen needed in blood?
Because your cells need oxygen. Blood has Hemoglobins inside it, which carry oxygen.
What is responsible for the RBC's ability to transport oxygen and CO2?
It is an iron-based protein called hemoglobin.
What responsible for the transport of oxygen the body tissues and removal of carbon dioxide?
red blood cells
Discuss the oxygen transport in blood?
Blood is an 'aqueous body fluid'. In other words it is water containing a whole range of substances.
What are the blood cells that transport oxygen?
red blood cells transport oxygen :)
What does blood transport?

Why does a heart rate change?
HR changes in response to workload, the harder you work the more oxygen is needed. Blood is the transport vessel for that oxygen. Faster HR = more blood and therefore more oxygen.
Why does the blood tissue transport oxygen and mineral element but does not fight against diseases?
like it transports oxygen and minerals it transports antibodies and white blood cells to fight disease, it just doesnt fight it itself
What blood Transport oxygen?
red blood cells
Is needed to transport oxygen in red blood cells?
It is either nucleus, haemoglobin, thick outer cell wall or microvilli.
Do lunges transport oxygen to tissues?
No. Red blood cells do. Red blood cells transport oxygen form the lungs to tissues.
Which mineral is needed for the blood transportation of oxygen?
The molecule of the protein haemoglobin has at its centre an atom of iron, as the central part of the molecule is an iron complex. This is why you need the mineral iron in your diet. Without sufficient iron in the diet the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is lowered, and you will soon become anaemic.
Why blood is needed by all parts of a body?
to supply oxygen and nutrition for the cells. Also to transport hormones to different parts of the body.
What animals have blood transport oxygen?
Fish.
What kind of things does blood transport?
oxygen
