The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in oxidative phosphorylation is?
Oxygen is the final exceptor
Give two functions of the breathing system?
1) Transport of oxygen into the body 2) Transport of carbon dioxide out of the body
The red pigment in the blood cells can combine with large amounts of oxygen?
The blood cells are called hemoglobin. The hemoglobin transport oxygen from the lungs to all other parts of the body.
What is the final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation?
oxygen
What is the red pigment in your blood called and what does it do?
Iron, it helps transport oxygen Strictly speaking, it is iron complexed by "haem" units to give haemoglobin
Would breathing pure oxygen cause a large increase in oxygen transport by the blood in a person with a low alveolar oxygen?
We know that our blood has a pigment called Haemoglobin,which gives characteristic red colour to blood.A haemoglobin molecule carries a maximum of 4 oxygen molecules,and is called 100% saturated when it does so.So,breathing pure oxygen doesn't increase the transport of oxygen.
What is the name respiratory pigment in humans?
A respiratory pigment is a substance (such as hemoglobin or hemocyanin) with a molecule consisting of protein with a pigmented prosthetic group, involved in the physiological transport of oxygen or electrons.
What aids circulation of oxygen and nutrients throughout a vertebrate body?
Blood aids in the circulation of oxygen and nutrients throughout a vertebrate.
What transport oxygen through the blood?
They are the red blood cells. P.S. the haemoglobin is only a pigment of red blood cells.
What do your red blood cells do?
They transport respiratory gases.They take O2 to cells and take CO2 from cells.
Why does blood have red colour?
Blood is an oxygen transport mechanism (among its other functions) and this is done by means of a chemical called hemoglobin, which, when it is carrying oxygen, has an intense red color.
What is the functions of the human blood?
Blood is a fluid connective tissue whose functions are:The transport of oxygen, nutrients, hormones, enzymes, waste productsThe transport of waste productsFighting off infections (contains white blood cells)ClottingThe regulation of body temperature
