Hemoglobin refers to a red protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood of vertebrates. The part of the hemoglobin molecule that carbon attaches to is the heme molecule.

If you could break up a carbon dioxide molecule would you still have carbon dioxide?
Although the molecule is broken up it does not change the fact that it is carbon dioxide. Therefore you still have carbon dioxide.
What is the most important protein in the physiologically transport of carbon dioxide by blood?
The Bicarbonate Buffer System
Carbon dioxide transported in the blood?
describe how carbon dioxide is transported in the blood
An inorganic molecule reguired by green plants for the process of photosynthesis is?
An inorganic molecule required by green plants for the process of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is transported through the blood primarily as?
The molecule haemoglobin, which transports oxygen around the body (when it can be called oxy-hamoglobin) also transports the oxides of carbon, carbon dioxide (and, usually to a far lesser extent, carbon monoxide); when it is known as carboxy-haemoglobin.
What do you call hemoglobin in the urine?
Hemoglobin is a molecule that is bound to a red blood cell and it helps with the transportation of carbon dioxide and oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin in the urine is called hemoglobinuria.
What are concave disks with a squashed in center that transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
What are concave disks with a squashed-in center. they transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
What does hemoglobin do after it leaves the cells and returns to lungs?
The carbon dioxide is released as the other parts of the hemoglobin molecule pick up more oxygen for a return trip to the cells.
Is carbon dioxide a macro molecule?
No, as molecule go carbon dioxide is a small, simple molecule.
Does CO2 bind at the same site on the hemoglobin molecule as O2 If not where does CO2 bind?
No. Carbon monoxide binds to the same site as oxygen, i.e. the central iron. Carbon dioxide binds to the globin molecule.
What small molecules bind to hemoglobin?
Carbon dioxide and BPG bind to amino acids located on hemoglobin. Oxygen molecules bind to the iron molecules located in the heme. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules, one on each of the four iron molecules. Nitric oxide can also bind to hemoglobin when either oxygen or carbon dioxide are bound to the hemoglobin.
What transports oxygen and carrys away some carbon dioxide?
plasma
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.
How does molecule of carbon monoxide differ from a molecule of carbon dioxide?
Carbon monoxide is CO and carbon dioxide is CO2.
Is Carbon Dioxide Considered Bacteria?
No, Carbon Dioxide is a gas that is toxic to the human body because it attaches to your hemoglobin where oxygen would normally attach, therefore no oxygen reaches your cells and they begin to die. This is called Carboxyhemoglobin.
How many molecules of carbon dioxide are used to make 1 molecule?
It takes one molecule of carbon dioxide to make one molecule of carbon dioxide.
