What organic substance transports oxygen through the bloodstream?
hemoglobin
How is oxygen transported through the bloodstream?
A small portion is carried in the blood plasma and the remainder is transported by combining with hemoglobin.
What gives your body oxygen?
The lungs absorb oxygen (O2) and it is carried in hemoglobin through the bloodstream to various cells.
Why is iron in the human diet?
Iron is part of the hemoglobin molecule, which helps carry oxygen around the body through the bloodstream
How is oxygen carried through the bloodstream?
Oxygen can travel dissolved in the plasma, but mostly it binds to a specific molecule - hemoglobin - found in red blood cells.
Do digested food enter from your blood stream after it moves through the large intestine?
Yes, It does. When the food reaches the point that it is in the bloodstream, It goes through the large intestine.
What are red blood cells and what task do they perform?
Red blood cells are large, round cells in the bloodstream. They are red because they contain hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is used to transport oxygen through the bloodstream, from the lungs to the cells of the rest of the body. Then the hemoglobin in the red blood cells absorbs carbon dioxide to transport to the lungs for exhalation. So the purpose of red blood cells is to supply oxygen and eliminate carbon dioxide in the body.
What organic macromolecule is responsible for helping red blood cells carry oxygen?
Im pretty sure carbohydrates carry oxygen through your bloodstream
What does hemoglobin carries to the other body cells?
yes, the hemoglobin found in red blood cells, binds it to oxygen and carries it to the cells throughout the body.
