Which gas will be absorbed by the erythrocytes to the exclusion of oxygen?

That would be Carbon monoxide. The blood cells prove that they like Carbon monoxide better by turning even more red.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is often first diagnosed by the person's features being cherry red.

What gas is absorbed in the lungs during respiration?
Absorbed Oxygen...well Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Argon and other stuff...But the gas most wanted is Oxygen and rejected (breathed out) is carbon dioxide.
Where does gas get exchanged in the circulatory system?
In lungs where carbon dioxide is released and oxygen absorbed and in cells where oxygen is given to cells and carbon dioxide is absorbed by blood.
The feathery structure of gills aid in the function of gas exchange by?
it increases surface area for gas exchange which means that more oxygen is absorbed.
Where does gas exchange take place in fish?
Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lungs and in the capillaries. The direct process of gas exchange occurs in alveoli located within the lungs. Blood is sent from the heart through pulmonary arteries, exchanging the carbon dioxide within erythrocytes (red blood cells) for oxygen provided by the air lungs store when inhaling. In the capillaries, oxygen diffuses through the capillary walls into the tissues, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the tissues into the capillaries.
What is the gases inside the heart?
The heart pumps blood which is a liquid. A certain amount of gas is absorbed by blood (particularly oxygen, which the body needs) but it is not in the form of a gas when the heart pumps it.
What is an axolotl's gas exchanges?
Axolotl breathe using gills. Oxygen is absorbed from the water. Carbon DIoxide is released into water via diffusion.
What is the name of the protein found in erythrocytes that allows for respiratory gas transport?
Hemoglobin
When plants make their own food what gas do they add to the atmosphere?
Most importantly, carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants in order to photosynthesise. The oxygen is absorbed when plants respire. The atmosphere is the source of rain for their water. Physical aspects of the atmosphere, such as strong winds, can damage plants.
What gas law applies to the bends?
Henry's law is one of the gas laws, stating that the amount a gas dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is proportional to the partial pressure of that gas. As pressure builds, more nitrogen and oxygen gets absorbed by the blood in the body, and it tends to get absorbed faster than it gets released, meaning that when you resurface and the pressure declines, the gas in the blood is still increased.
What is Po2 gas?
PO2 IS THE OYGEN BLOOD LEVEL IN YOUR BODY (More specifically, pO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in different parts of your body. For example, the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) is higher in your lungs than it is in various tissues like muscles. Therefore, oxygen is absorbed in the lungs and dispersed through your muscles.)
What is Earths incoming ultraviolet radiation absorbed by?
Nitrogen, Oxygen (UV-C and more energetic), and Ozone (UV-B and more energetic)
How erythrocyte are structurally designed to carry oxygen?
Erythrocytes (red blood cells) have 3 main adaptions to carry lots of oxygen: >1) they are a biconcave disk shape. This means that they have a large surface area for the gas to diffuse across. >2) they have lots of heamaglobin- this is the red pigment which combines with oxygen to form oxyheamaglobin, allowing the oxygen to be carried by the cell. >3) they have no nucleus. This means that they have more room to carry the oxygen.
