Blood contains a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin, which contains iron, is found in red blood cells and is the ingredient that makes blood red. Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs to wherever it's needed throughout your body. You've probably noticed that sometimes blood is bright red, while other times it is dark red. The difference in color comes from the changing amounts of oxygen in the blood. Arteries, a type of blood vessel, carry blood away from the lungs and heart to the rest of your body. That blood is rich in oxygen, which joins with hemoglobin to give the blood its bright red color. Tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which have narrow walls through which tiny substances can pass, distribute oxygen and nutrients to all of your body's cells.
What else can I help you with?
Does oxygen and Hemoglobin make your blood red?
Yes, oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells to form oxyhemoglobin, which gives blood its red color. When oxygen is delivered to tissues, hemoglobin releases oxygen and becomes deoxygenated, resulting in a darker shade of red.
What element is used to make hemoglobin?
oxygen. without it, the red blood cell will turn a dark red.
Why is hemoglobin red in color?
Hemoglobin is red in color because it contains iron, which binds to oxygen and gives blood its red hue.
What is he pigment that is present inRBC?
The pigment present in red blood cells is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to the tissues throughout the body. It gives blood its red color.
Why blood red in colour?
The hemoglobin in the blood goes red when it absorbs oxygen. Blood is not always red, if it is lacking in oxygen, it is infact blue. If you look at the veins in your arm or hand, they do not have much blood and therefore will be blue. You will never see blue blood because if you cut yourself, the blood is exposed to the air, allowing it to be oxygenated and thus turning it red.
what that make the blood red?
The protein hemoglobin, found in the red blood cells, is what makes blood red.
Why do you red blood cells contain hemoglobin?
No, white blood cells do not contain hemoglobin; red blood cells contain hemoglobin (and it is the hemoglobin that gives them their red color).
Does oxygen and Hemoglobin make your blood red?
Yes, oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells to form oxyhemoglobin, which gives blood its red color. When oxygen is delivered to tissues, hemoglobin releases oxygen and becomes deoxygenated, resulting in a darker shade of red.
How can you tell if an organism has hemoglobin?
hemoglobin is responsible for making blood red. if the organism has red blood, it contains hemoglobin
What carries hemoglobin in animal's blood cells?
The cells that carry hemoglobin are red blood cells. Their scientific name is erythrocytes.
Is there hemoglobin in red blood cells?
Yes, of course. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells.
What is the blood cell containing hemoglobin?
Red blood cells (also called erythrocytes)
Does hemoglobin make human blood red?
No, I think I remember that iron causes the red color to the red blood cells. But, I am not sure.
What element that makes the blood red?
The protein hemoglobin, found in the red blood cells, is what makes blood red.
What is the hemoglobin?
hemoglobin is the cause thats why your blood is red
Why do you bleed red?
