Which element is found in your blood?
Fe, iron. This is the element that hemoglobin molecules carry through the blood. A deficit of iron in the blood is called anemia.
Which mineral is in hemoglobin?
Iron. This element is found at the center of each hemoglobin molecule.
Can all molecules be consiered compounds?
No. Molecules that contain only one element are considered elements. An example is the diatomic molecule of oxygen O2.
What gives blood-cells their red color?
Hemoglobin's ironRed blood cells contain hemoglobin, a substance which is rich in iron. The iron is bound to the hemoglobin molecules (the protein). The iron atom that is complexed by "haem" units is what gives the color. Iron is a transition element.

Do all organic molecules contain the element carbon?
Yes, all organic molecules contain carbon.
What element makes the blood this colour?
Iron Hemoglobin which contains iron, so that it con bind oxygen. Although Iron is an element. Hemoglobin is a molecule.
What type of macro molecule is iron?
No, iron is a metallic element and do not exists as molecules, macro molecules are those which contain thousands of atoms or molecules as a single unity as starch, proteins etc.
What mineral is found in hemoglobin?
Iron. This element is found at the center of each hemoglobin molecule.
Must the atoms in a molecule be different?
No, not all molecules have to contain different elements. Some molecules are only composed of atoms of one element, like molecular hydrogen (H2). However, there are some molecules that are composed of different elements.
What is found in the center of a hemoglobin molecule?
Iron is the element found at the centre of haemoglobin.
How do you calculate molecules to moles?
Multiply the number of molecules by the number of molecules per mole for that particular element or molecule (sum of the molecules/mole of each element in the molecule). The number of molecules per mole for any element can be found on charts and on the periodic table.
