What is the iron containing protein that is found in red blood cells and carries oxygen from the lungs?
The iron-containing protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen is called hemoglobin.
What is oxygen carrying capacity of the red blood cells due to?
Red blood cells contain a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is able to bind to oxygen molecules. Therefore, the presence of hemoglobin the red blood cells makes them capable of carrying oxygen.
How is seal hemoglobin different to human hemoglobin?
All hemoglobin has something called the Bohr effect, which is a negative effect of binding oxygen by hemoglobin in the presence of acid. This effect is some what exaggerated in diving mammals.
The relationship between hemoglobin and oxygen?
hemoglobin is the core of RBC'S and it has greater affinity to oxygen
What happens to the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin as temperature increases?
"What happens to the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin as temperature increases?" "What happens to the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin as temperature increases?" "What happens to the amount of oxygen carried by hemoglobin as temperature increases?"
What is hemoglobin-oxygen combination called?
Oxygen+Hb= Oxyheamoglobin CO+Hb=Carboxyheamoglobin sulfur dioxide+Hb= sulfheamoglobin
Which mineral allows red blood cells to carry oxygen?
It is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen and iron to the tissues.
What is oxy-hemoglobin?
It is hemoglobin that carries oxygen
What is hemoglobin called when saturated with oxygen?
oxyhemoglobin
What is the blood oxygen that is bound to the hemoglobin called?
red
Amount of oxygen that is bound to hemoglobin is called?
oxyhemoglobin
What is the name of the thing in our blood that transport oxygen?
Red blood cells are packed full of a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin has a molecule of iron in each protein molecule. This hemoglobin is what carries oxygen. The oxygen binds with the iron.
What holds a substance called hemoglobin?
The oxygen rich red blood cells hold the substance hemoglobin.
What is the biological term of oxygen carrying pigment found in red blood corpuscles?
heomoglobin..... a comlex compound of proteins with iron......
What is the pathway of an oxygen molecule from the atmosphere to its combination with a hemoglobin molecule?
Oxygen reaches the hemoglobin in the blood cells by entering the lungs. The key area of the lungs where the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide is made is called the alveoli. The Alveoli has very thin cell walls which allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass freely in and out of the blood stream.
What is the iron containing protein that is found in red blood cells and carries oxygen from the lungs?
The iron-containing protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen is called hemoglobin.
What is responsible for the RBC's ability to transport oxygen and CO2?
It is an iron-based protein called hemoglobin.
