Why does hemoglobin make blood red?
Blood contains a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin, which contains iron, is found in red blood cells and is the ingredient that makes blood red. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to wherever it's needed throughout your body. You've probably noticed that sometimes blood is bright red, while other times it is dark red. The difference in color comes from the changing amounts of oxygen in the blood. Arteries, a type of blood vessel, carry blood away from the lungs and heart to the rest of your body. That blood is rich in oxygen, which joins with hemoglobin to give the blood its bright red color. Tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which have narrow walls through which tiny substances can pass, distribute oxygen and nutrients to all of your body's cells.

What is the energy carried in the blood stream?
Plasma is a pale yellow sticky liquid. It makes up 55% of the blood's volume. The components of plasma are water 92%, dissolved protein 8%, glucose, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, urea, uric acid, CO2, hormones, antibodies. Plasma carries dissolved materials such as glucose, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, salts, carbon dioxide, urea, and hormones. It also carries heat energy.Glucose would be what your body converts into ATP, the body's energy source.The rest of components of blood are:Red Blood Cells transport oxygen. Haemoglobin has a base of iron. The iron joins with oxygen in areas of high oxygen concentration (in the lungs and releases oxygen in areas of low oxygen concentration in the body cells.White Blood Cells (leucocytes) are colourless cells and possess a nucleus. They function in defending the body against pathogens. Some 'feed' on pathogens byphagocytosis. These white blood cells are called phagocytes. Others, the lymphocytes produce antibodies, the specific defense proteins. They are made by the bone marrow and lymphatic tissue.Source: http://leavingbio.net/blood.htm
When the sperm cells joins an egg cells?

Lipo-protein membrane
What gives red blood cells their color and carries oxygen?
Short answer: Blood is red because of hemoglobin, an iron containing material that is able to both absorb and release oxygen and is one of the most essential parts of blood. When it has absorbed oxygen it is bright red in color and when it releases oxygen it is dull red.Long answer:Our blood contains many different materials and cells, each with a different purpose. Plasma, the liquid portion of the blood, comprises more than half of the blood. Plasma is light yellow in color, and is thicker than water, because it contains many substances, in addition to the actual blood cells. These substances include proteins, antibodies, fibrinogen, which helps blood clot, carbohydrates, fats, salts, etc., and when it is returning to the heart from the cells, dissolved carbon dioxide.Red blood cells (also called corpuscles) color the blood. Since there are actually trillions of them circulating in one's body at any one time, their great amount is what gives blood the red color.As a red blood cell matures, and takes on an adult form in the marrow of the bone, it loses its nucleus and increases its production of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the red pigment, or color of blood, and contains iron, combined with protein.When blood passes through the lungs, oxygen joins the hemoglobin of the red cells. From there, the red cells carry the oxygen through the arteries and the capillaries to all other cells of the body.Red blood cells stick around for about four months before they are broken up (mostly in the spleen) and then replaced by new red blood cells.On the contrary, horseshoe crabs have blue blood, which, rather than using hemoglobin, uses a copper containing compound to serve the same purpose.
