What Substance enables your blood cells to carry oxygen?
The protein contained within blood cells that allows them to carry oxygen is called Haemoglobin. The haemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules which are exchanged for carbon dioxide molecules released as a waste product from cell metabolism.
Where does blood get oxygen from?
Capillaries in your lungs provide oxygen to the haemoglobin molecules of red blood cells.
Which component of blood carries oxygen throughout the body?
Blood is ~55% plasma and ~45% red blood cells (erythrocytes). These cells contain millions of molecules of the protein hemoglobin each of which can bind up to 4 oxygen molecules.
Which cells in the blood contain haemoglobin?
Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes) contain haemoglobin.
What is the role of haemoglobin in red blood cells?
it transports oxygen (there are 4 atoms of iron in one haemoglobin, which means that it can transport 4 molecules of oxygen..)
What molecules in red blood cells contains the oxygen?
The hemoglobin molecule in red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen.
How is carbon dioxide transported from the production to the excretion of the substance from the body?
IT is transported in the blood attached to the haemoglobin molecules in red blood cells.
What cell contains hermoglobin molecules?
in red blood cells. and it is hemoglobin. dat is the US spelling. for UK, it will b haemoglobin
What blood cells contain haemoglobin?
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
Which part of the blood carries the oxygen?
The red blood cells contain a globular protein called Haemoglobin, which carries oxygen by combining the oxygen molecules to its haem groups.
What is hemolytic streptococcus?
its a streptococcus that causes lysis of haemoglobin in red blood cells its a streptococcus that causes lysis of haemoglobin in red blood cells
How do you get oxygen to all of your cells?
By the Haemoglobin in our red blood cells.
