There are dozens of proteins within the layers of the red blood cell membrane that help with functions like transport and shape.
The antigens on the surface of red blood cells that determine blood type are actually carbohydrate molecules attached to protein carriers. They are determined by genetics; your parents' blood types determine your blood type.
In contrast, hemoglobin is not on the red blood cells' cell membranes, but is contained in the cytoplasm of the cell.
What we call Rh D factor is also a protein found on the surface of the RBCs. Either you have it (Rh+) or not (Rh-).
What else can I help you with?
Where are the blood type proteins found?
blood type proteins are found on the surface of the red blood cells that are like id tags
A persons blood type depends on the presence or absence of certain proteins called?
A person's blood type depends on the presence or absence of certain proteins called antigens on the surface of red blood cells. These antigens determine whether a person's blood type is A, B, AB, or O.
Which blood type brings oxygen close to cells?
Erythrocytes or red blood cells carry oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the bloodstream. So oxygen is carried inside of these cells. It is delivered to the tissues (which are composed of cells) when oxygen-containing red blood cells enter a capillary that passes through a tissue. The oxygen leaves the red blood cells and passes through the wall of the capillary where it can be taken up by the cells of the tissue. Blood type refers to particular proteins called antigens on the surface of these red blood cells. Some people's red blood cells have the A antigen on their surface; these people have type A blood. Some people have the B antigen and are type B. Some have both (AB) and some have neither (type O). Any given person will only have one blood type (you only have type O or type A blood) and all of the red blood cells in that person are the same type. No one of these blood types is any better or worse than transporting oxygen.
Can you tell a blood type by a urine sample?
No, you cannot determine a person's blood type from a urine sample. Blood type is determined by antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which are not present in urine. To determine blood type, a blood sample is needed for testing.
How do you determine someone's blood type if they have type O blood?
To determine someone's blood type if they have type O blood, a blood test is done to check for the presence of A and B antigens on the surface of red blood cells. If neither antigen is present, the person is classified as having type O blood.
What Blood type?
Blood type is based on the inherieted antigenic substances found on the surface of the blood cells.
Where are the blood type proteins found?
blood type proteins are found on the surface of the red blood cells that are like id tags
What is the clumping together of red blood cells when unlike incompatible types of blood are mixed is due to antibodies in the plasma and antigens on the?
On the surface of red blood cells Take A type blood, for instance. It has antigens against B type blood contact on its cell surface.
Why is it safe to transfuse blood group O to a patient?
Red blood cells of different groups have different molecules on the surface of their cells these are called antigens. People with blood type A will reject B type blood as they have different antigens on the surface of their cells, these differences are detected by antibodies. Blood type O has none of these antigens and so isn't rejected/detected by the antibodies.
What molecule found on the surface of a cell is responsible for ABO blood type?
The ABO blood type is determined by specific glycoprotein molecules called antigens present on the surface of red blood cells. These antigens include A and B antigens, which are variations of the H antigen modified by specific enzymes. An individual's blood type (A, B, AB, or O) is based on the presence or absence of these antigens. For example, type A blood has A antigens, type B has B antigens, AB has both, and type O has neither.
is blood type O universal if not what is?
Yes, blood O is the universal to be more specific O-. It is universal cause the Red blood cells have no antigens on their surface allowing for the cells to be donated to people with any blood type.
In biology what are blood types.?
Blood type has to do with the antigens found on the surface of your red blood cells. Type A has the A antigen, type B has the B antigen, type AB has both, and type O has neither.
A persons blood type depends on the presence or absence of certain proteins called?
A person's blood type depends on the presence or absence of certain proteins called antigens on the surface of red blood cells. These antigens determine whether a person's blood type is A, B, AB, or O.
What is the difference between type a blood cells and type b cell?
Type A and B red blood cells differ in the antigens they express on the cell surface. The still carry out the same tasks (transportation). The antigens on the surface of these cells are what is recognised by the immune system - so that it knows the cell is part of the body and not foreign.

No one of these blood types is any better or worse than transporting oxygen.
Does a person with type O blood have A or B antigens on the red blood cell?
No antigens.That is why they are the universal donors and anyone can receive their blood.
Can you tell a blood type by a urine sample?
No, you cannot determine a person's blood type from a urine sample. Blood type is determined by antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which are not present in urine. To determine blood type, a blood sample is needed for testing.
