Carbon monoxide combines with what component of blood?
Carbon monoxide combines with hemoglobin in the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin, which reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen.

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 blood cell collects hemoglobin?

What is the chemical in cigarette smoke that reduces the ability of blood to carry oxygen?
Carbon monoxide is the chemical in cigarette smoke that reduces the ability of blood to carry oxygen. It binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells more readily than oxygen, displacing oxygen and impairing its transportation to tissues.
What part of the blood cell carries oxygen?
hemoglobin
What is the hemoglobin?
