A person that is anemic is deficient in what?

Iron. In the blood, the red substance, haemoglobin, is found in red blood corpuscles. This haemoglobin is a protein whose use is to transport oxygen round the body (obtained from the lungs) to the cells that need it, and waste carbon dioxide from the cells that need to get rid of it, which it transports back to the lungs for us to breathe out. Haemoglobin molecules contain an atom of the metal iron at the centre. So if you are anaemic, this is because you do not have enough haemoglobin - usually as a result of iron deficiency.


What is the largest between a molecule and a atom?

Moelcules are made from atoms but a large atom is very many times the size of small molecules.


Why is hemoglobin only in the red blood cell?

The red colour is caused by a chemical known as a porphyrin which actually contains the iron atom in haemoglobin. The name porphyrin comes from the Greek for purple. There are lots of different kinds of haemoglobin depending on which species you belong to, but all have a similar structure of protein molecules and iron containing porphyrin molecules. Oh I forgot, the porphyrin molecule in haemoglobin is called ha em or heme, depends on where you come from. If you are interested some animals like octopus and squid have copper instead of iron in their oxygen carrying molecules.


Which particles control the weight of an atom?

The protons and neutrons, but not the electrons since they are about thousand times lighter than protons and neutrons.


Who is lighter electron or hydrogen atom?

electron

How many times lighter is a helium atom than carbon?

A helium atom is four times lighter than a carbon atom. This is because helium has two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus, while carbon has six protons and six neutrons. The atomic mass of helium is approximately 4 atomic mass units, while the atomic mass of carbon is approximately 12 atomic mass units.


Which particle or particles of an atom have little mass?

Electrons are the particles of an atom that have little mass compared to protons and neutrons. Electrons are around 1836 times lighter than protons and neutrons.


What part of the atom is involved when molecules are formed?

The electrons form bonds with other atom's electrons to form molecules.


Element A has atom which is 3 times lighter than that of Carbon-12 Calculate its atomic mass?

Mass of C-12 atom = 12 amu mass of C-12 atom = am So atomic mass of A = 4 amu source ; www.examville.com


Carries oxygen in blood?

The haemoglobin molecule, because it has an Iron atom at its core, will carry four oxygen (O2) molecules, per trip, from the capillaries in the lungs to capillaries elsewhere, where the O2 is released into all of these tissues, thereby enabling cellular O2 requiring processes..


Are molecules the same as a atom?

No because molecules are multiple atoms
