Oxygen is carried by hemoglobin in red blood cells because it is not very soluble in blood plasma. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to tissues where it is needed. This allows for efficient transport of oxygen throughout the body.

What air do you breathe to keep electrons moving along from the first to the last chemical carrier?

The air that one breathes to keep electrons moving along from the first to the last chemical carrier is oxygen. Oxygen is necessary for all life forms to exist and enable existence. For instance, humans need the trees and plant life because they take in or breathe the carbon dioxide that humans expel, and then expel the oxygen that humans need to breathe in order to maintain life.


How does perfluorooctyl bromide supply oxygen to tissues?

Is carrier signal present at output of double side band suppressed carrier?

No, the carrier signal is not present at the output of double side band suppressed carrier. That is what suppressed carrier means. However, the receiver has enough information to regenerate the carrier if need be. The advantage of suppressed carrier mode is that more power can be deployed to the signal-carrying portion of the modulated carrier.
