They haemoglobin pigment present in the blood gives it the red colour.this pigment is found in the RBCs hence making them red in colour.
The resipiratory pigment found in the rbc's is hemoglobin.
The respiratory pigment is a molecule that increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. In man this is the hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is bright red when its been oxygenated, and a red-purple when it is deoxygenated.
Regular blood cells contain respiratoy pigment in them.
keratinThe correct answer is NOT keratin... the correct answer is myoglobin. This is the oxygen-binding pigment in muscle.
Not all animals have red blood. The color of blood depends upon the type of compound or respiratory pigment within the blood that transports oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. In all vertebrates (animals having a backbone) and a few invertebrates (animals lacking a backbone), an iron-containing protein called hemoglobin is responsible for oxygen transport. Hemoglobin is a red pigment and gives the blood a red color. Annelids (segmented worms) have either a green pigment, chlorocruorin, or a red pigment, hemerythrin. Some crustaceans (invertebrates with jointed bodies, such as crabs and shrimps) have a blue pigment, hemocyanin, in their blood. Cockroaches have no respiratory pigment, thus their blood is colorless.
Pigments are materials that are used to add color to different things, and the pigments themselves are often found as fine granules suspended in what they are adding color to. In the case of paint, for example, white paint has a red pigment added, and the actual material that gives the paint the red color is finely ground "red" pigment. The red pigment granules are suspended in the paint, and the paint will then appear red.
Haemoglobin (Hb) is a red coloured protein pigment found within Red Blood CellsIt consists of two basic partsthe iron containing pigment haemthe protein globin
haemoglobin.

hemoglobin
Cockroach blood contains no red blood cells to transport oxygen because its respiratory system is open. This means that roach blood is pale yellow or colorless.
