Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are the most common blood cells. They deliver oxygen to the body tissues through the blood flow and circulatory system. These cells' cytoplasm contain alot of hemoglobin, an iron-containing biomolecule that binds oxygen, and is what makes the blood's red color. The cell membrane is made of PROTEINS and lipids, which provides properties essential for physiological cell function (like deformability and stability) while traversing the circulatory system.
What else can I help you with?
How do red blood cells and bones work together?
blood flows around the bone to make more cells
What are living organidms made of?
All living organisms are made of cells, or the littlist units of life. There are many different types of cells. (red blood cells, white blood cells)
What makes red blood cells red and able to transport oxygen?
It is the haemoglobin in the cells which allow them to carry oxygen and its also the reason they are red as haemoglobin is red.
What are the four components of the blood?
the four componets of blood are platelets, plasma, white blood cells and red blood cells.
How do red blood cells travel?
the heart pumps all of the blood includingplasma (like water)lymph (immune system)white blood cells (fight invading cells)and red blood cells (carry oxygen)the red blood cells travel through theveins (to the heart)arteries (from the heart)capillaries (distribute oxygen to cells)
Which human blood group lacks proteins in the red blood cells?
Blood type O lacks the antigen proteins of A and B. Blood type O is the universal donor.
Where are the blood type proteins found?
blood type proteins are found on the surface of the red blood cells that are like id tags
Proteins on the outside of the aids virus bind to what?
proteins on the surface of red blood cells
Why are red blood cells unable to synthasize proteins?
Mature blood cells do not have a nucleus. Without this genetic material, the cells are unable to synthesize proteins.
What substances does lymph have in it?
White Blood Cells, Proteins. It is almost identical to Tissue Fluid. However, it does not have Red Blood Cells.
Which one of the following substances in normally found in urine A blood proteins B red blood cells C hemoglobin D white blood cells E creatinine?
Creatinine is normally found in urine. Blood proteins, red blood cells, and hemoglobin are all abnormal findings. White blood cells would indicate an infection.
Which one of the following substances is normally found in urine white blood cells blood proteins creatinine hemoglobin red blood cells?
hemoglobin
What does a red blood cell contain?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, primarily, although there are some other proteins included.
Do the formed elements of blood include defense proteins?
Formed elements of blood do not include the defense proteins known as antigens. The formed elements of blood are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
Does the size of red blood cells have anything to do with determining a persons blood type?
The size of blood cells is not a factor in determining a person's blood type. Blood type is determined by a combination of certain proteins in the cells.
Blood types are determined by the presence of protein located on what?
Blood types are determined by the presence of specific proteins (antigens) located on the surface of red blood cells. These proteins include A, B, and Rh (D) antigens.
What is human serum?
Serum is the portion of the blood that is left after the blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets) are removed. It includes the fluid, the electrolytes and the dissolved proteins like albumin.
