Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body

Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, contain hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein that binds oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues throughout the body.

Which part of the blood carries the oxygen?
The red blood cells, specifically the molecule hemoglobin within them, carry oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it in areas of the body where oxygen is needed for cellular respiration.
What cells do not contain DNA?
The only cells which lack DNA are the mature <b>red blood cells</b> (erythrocytes). This is because they lack a nucleus, which is where the DNA is found in other cells. Red blood cells also lack mitochondria which themselves have DNA. Therefore they not only lack nuclei DNA, but mitochondrial DNA as well. <br /><br /> Red blood cells develop in your bone marrow from special cells called stem cells. These do have a nucleus, but as the red blood cell develops the nucleus is squeezed/taken out. This makes more room for the red pigment haemoglobin, which is needed to carry the Oxygen in the red cells. Haemoglobin also carry's Glucose needed for energy and also they take Carbon Dioxide away from the cells to be breathed out through the lungs
How valuable are red blood cells in DNA typing?
Red blood cells do not contain a nucleus, which means they lack DNA. As a result, red blood cells are not useful for DNA typing. Instead, white blood cells, which do contain DNA, are typically used for DNA profiling and typing in forensic analysis.
What organelle doesn't contain DNA?
Some viruses contain only RNA (and need a host with DNA in order to replicate themselves). Red blood cells of mammals are anucleated (lack a nucleus) and do not contain nuclear DNA as a result.
Which blood cell has DNA?
All blood cells have DNA, which carries genetic information and is important for cell functions. White blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets all contain DNA, although red blood cells lose their nucleus during maturation and do not have a nucleus with DNA.
Which cells in the blood contain haemoglobin?
Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes) contain haemoglobin.
What does blood contain that carries oxygen to the cells?
haemoglobin
Do red blood cells contain haemoglobin?
yes they do contain haemoglobin it is this substance only which gives red blood cells its red colour Haemoglobin is also carrying Oxygen from lungs to viscera in the form of Oxyhaemoglobin.
Which blood cells contain respiratory pigment?
Reg blood cells contains the respiratoy pigment haemoglobin.
Red blood cells are red because they contain this substance?
Haemoglobin
Do white blood cells contain haemoglobin?
No, haemoglobin is only found in red blood cells. It is a substance that is required to take up oxygen for transport from the lungs to the rest of our body.
Does red blood cells contain red pigments?
yes known as haemoglobin.
Describe oxygen transport in the red blood cell?
Red blood cells contain a substance called haemoglobin. Oxygen dissolves in haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin. This compound travels in the blood and is taken to all the 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.
What do red blood cells not have?
Mature red blood cells do not have a nucleus nor organelles.
What the red blood cells contain which give them the red color?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen. It is the iron in hemoglobin that gives red blood cells their red color. When oxygen binds to hemoglobin, the color appears brighter red.
Do platelets contain hemoglobin?
No. Haemoglobin is a substance found in only red blood cells.
