What is hufner's factor?
In blood, Huffner's factor is the value assigned to indicate the binding capacity of hemoglobin to oxygen. Theoretically, i.e. based on the hemoglobin structure,, that value is 1.39, but in practice, even with good analysis techniques it is somewhat less (1.34-1.37), indicating the presence of some non-oxygen-binding hemoglobins being present in 'normal' human blood.
Why is hemoglobin good?
It increases the bloods affinity to oxygen and buffers carbonic acid in the blood.
They put the clip on your finger and oxygen levels are good but you feel like you can not breath and are congested. What could be the cause?
the clip and the light that you are talking about is a pulse oximeter and this machine measure the hemoglobin that is bind to oxygen in your blood. The hemoglobin is what transport oxygen to your cells and tissues. If you have a low hemoglobin level but they're all bind to oxygen the reading will be good but your tissues and cells are not receiving enough oxygen. That can be one of the reason you're feeling you don't get enough air.Otherwise it could be because of congestion in your lungs even if you're getting enough oxygen.
Why is blood cells good at caring oxygen round the body?
Blood cells, specifically red blood cells, are good at carrying oxygen around the body because they contain a protein called hemoglobin that can bind to oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is able to pick up oxygen in the lungs and release it to tissues in need of oxygen throughout the body. This allows for efficient transportation of oxygen to cells that need it for energy production.
What is the oxygen carrying compound in blood?
It is hemoglobin that is the oxygen transport substance in blood. Wikipedia has some good information on this metalloprotein, and a link is provided.
What fully functional molecules of hemoglobin is a good example of what protein structure?
Hemoglobin is a protein. In particular, it's the protein that carries iron and helps transport oxygen to where it needs to be in the blood. It's also what makes blood red.
The association of four subunit peptides in a fully functional molecule of hemoglobin is a good example of?
quaternary structure in protein. Hemoglobin is composed of four subunits—two alpha and two beta chains—that come together to form a functional molecule capable of binding and transporting oxygen in the blood. The interactions between these subunits demonstrate how multiple protein subunits can assemble to create a complex, functional protein.
What is the oxygen carrying part of the red blood cells called?
Red blood cells have a protein known as hemoglobin that is rich in iron making it good candidate to transport oxygen from the lungs to the body.
How does oxygen get into the water in the carbon cycle?
that is a good question but i think by animals
Do you need plants and animals?
Of course! Animals are used for meat, which is good, and you need plants for oxygen and food.
Why is hemoglobin level more in new borns?
This is a good question! Fetus gets the oxygen from the placenta. In case of the placenta, the blood from the mother and fetus comes in contact with each other. Here both the bloods are not mixed up and separated by thin membrane. Fetus needs very high quantity of the oxygen for the growth. So fetus has got more hemoglobin to extract more oxygen from the blood of mother. After the birth, this extra hemoglobin diminishes with time.
Does hemoglobin reflect light very good?
Yes, hemoglobin can reflect light to some extent due to its iron content. However, its primary function is to carry oxygen in red blood cells rather than to reflect light.
