Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide
- Oxygen is taken up by the haemoglobin in red blood cells to be used for cellular respiration
- Carbon dioxide is taken up by plasma in the blood and taken back to the lungs to be exhaled
- Carbon Dioxide is a waste product of cellular respiration

What molecules in red blood cells contains the oxygen?
The hemoglobin molecule in red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen.
What does the marker molecules on red blood cells determine a persons?
Blood type
Mature red blood cells in the circulating blood are filled with what?
Hemoglobin Molecules
What part of the circulatory system carries oxygen to the cells?
The blood, or if you want to be more specific the red blood cells, or to be even more specific the hemoglobin molecules in the red blood cells, carries oxygen to the other cells of the body.
Which component of the blood carries oxygen?
Hemoglobin molecules on the surface of the red blood cells.
How is Osmosis in red blood cells?
Osmosis is the diffusion of molecules from where they are abundant to where they are scarce through a semi permeable membrane. In red blood cells, this semi permeable membrane is the cell membrane. If red blood cells were placed in a solution abundant with water molecules, they would diffuse into the cells through the membrane
What cell contains hermoglobin molecules?
in red blood cells. and it is hemoglobin. dat is the US spelling. for UK, it will b haemoglobin
Where does blood get oxygen from?
Capillaries in your lungs provide oxygen to the haemoglobin molecules of red blood cells.
What is the content of human red blood cells?
Red blood cells are packed with a chemical compound called hemoglobin, which has the ability to both absorb and release oxygen molecules.
What jobs do red blood cells perform in the body?
Red blood cells carry oxygen fro the lungs to the body cells. A red blood cell is made mostly of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein that binds chemically to oxygen molecules. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and have no nuclei.
What are the characteristics of mature red blood cells?
LOTS of haemoglobin (Hb) molecules to carry oxygen. (ie. ~100 million Hb/red blood cell). Immature red blood cells have few Hb in each blood cell.
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.
