What color is haemoglobin?

Hemoglobin is red in color when it is carrying oxygen.


Are trees green?

no they are more of a light green colour but it depends on what season it is. And also what tree it is.Answer:The leaves of trees are often green however the leaves can also be yellow, red or red/ purple. It all depends on the type of chlorophyll in the leaves, Some conifers like Blue Spruce have a bluish tinge to their needles and trees like maples change colour from green to red and yellow with frost.


What color is de oxygenated blood?

No. De-oxygenated blood is a dark red color. It may look blue in an anatomy and physiology text book, but the authors do that to show more clearly which blood vessels, usually veins, that carry de-oxygenated blood. That is why they color them blue. And then the arteries, which usually carry oxygenated blood, are colored red. In real life, your veins look blue because of the other tissues that have pigments in them that you have to look through to see your veins. Even though they appear on the outside to be blue, in fact, on the inside they are carrying deep dark red blood. Just look at the vial of blood the next time the nurse draws some for a test. You will see that it is dark red.


Why nerves are green?

Under normal light, blood appears red because most colours are absorbed except for red, which bounces back from the blood. Every colour but red is absorbed by the oxygen-carrying pigment haemoglobin (Hb). If a filter that blocks the reflected colour is positioned between the blood and the eyes of the person looking at the veins, the perceived colour changes. In the case of humans, the skin serves as a filter for the colour red, and the colour is therefore perceived as green. The exact colour spectra is determined by the relative levels of oxygenated iron (HbO) and carbon dioxide in the blood. High levels of oxygen reflect red, and high levels of carbon dioxide reflect blue, which, when mixed with the yellowish colour of fat and or the skin, end up looking green.


Where would the red colour be found in a cell from a petal of a rose flower?

in the chloroplast in the middle
