Q Sickle cells are red blood cells that stick together and become stiffer after they deliver oxygen Explain why a sickle cell is less efficient at carrying oxygen around the body than normal red blo?
because the body becomes stiff to produce asmah which is know to be a cell.
What color are red blood cells carrying oxygen?
then they are red if they are not carrying oxygen then they are a purple red.
How can oxygen be efficient for space discovery?
Oxygen is used in the launch of space vehicles to make discoveries.
What cell is responsible for carrying oxygen and carrying away carbon dioxide?
The Red Blood Cell
What is the oxygen-carrying protein of the muscle cells?
Myoglobin
What is thalesemia?
An inherited disorder that interferes with the normal production of hemoglobin

What is oxygen carrying capacity in humans?
oxygen carrying capacity is 1.34 ml of oxygen per gram of hemoglobin.... taking normal amount of Hb in humans as 15g/ dL , then oxygen carrying capacity for 100 ml of bood will be = 1.34*15 = 20 ml of oxygen approximately.
What happens when the blood has less than it normal oxygen carrying capacity?
Brain failure
How much oxygen is there in the air that you breathe out?
We do not use 100% of the Oxygen we inhale. we use only around 20% of it. Birds are more efficient and can absorb around 40% of their intake.
What color are red blood cells carrying oxygen?
then they are red if they are not carrying oxygen then they are a purple red.
What happens in the body during carbon monoxide poisioning?
Carbon monoxide poisoning prevents red blood cells from carrying out their normal function of transporting oxygen throughout the body. Consequently, all the cells of the body will suffer from lack of oxygen, which will prevent them from carrying out their normal metabolic functions and make them effectively shut down. The brain is the most sensitive to lack of oxygen, and within minutes, will suffer unconsciousness and then death, when deprived of oxygen.
What blood cell carries oxygen and carbon dioxide gases on them?
Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) are responsible for carrying oxygen (or carbon dioxide) around the body.
What is the Oxygen carrying in the blood?
Haemoglobin
What gas is found in cigarette smoke that stops the blood carrying to much oxygen?
Carbon Monoxide takes the place of oxygen on the red blood cells, so less oxygen can be carried around the body
Where do rhinos get their oxygen?
From the air around them, through breathing with lungs - the normal arrangement for mammals.
Which is more efficient lungs or gills?
Gills are more efficient at obtaining oxygen, but there is much more oxygen in air to breath through the lungs.
