What else can I help you with?
After hemoglobin is broken down into heme and globin what ultimately happens to the heme?
Heme is decomposed into iron and biliverdin
What is the important precursor of hemoglobin?
The important precursor of hemoglobin is heme, which is a component of hemoglobin that contains iron. Heme is synthesized in the mitochondria and then incorporated into hemoglobin during the final stages of red blood cell maturation.
What is the function of heme in hemoglobin?
Heme is what keeps iron from rusting in our blood, which combines with globin to make hemoglobin, which is the thing in our red blood cells that carries oxygen.
Is the components of hemoglobin pigments or melanin?
Heme part of hemoglobin is pigmented part.
What ion is an essential factor in hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin contains a heme group with an Iron ion attached to it. This iron is what binds to O2.
What is the iron-containing portion of the hemoglobin molecule called?
The iron containing part of hemoglobin is the 'heme' molecule.
In sickle cell disease the hemoglobin contains an incorrect?
heme
What role does the heme group play in the hemeglobin?
No I can't answer it! That's why I asked you!
What breaks down hemoglobin in the body?
Hemoglobin in the body is broken down by an enzyme called heme oxygenase.
Hemoglobin is made up of the protein heme and the red pigment globin?
Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that functions to transport oxygen throughout the body. It is composed of a heme group, which contains iron and binds with oxygen, and globin chains, which provide the structure for the heme groups. The interaction between heme and globin allows hemoglobin to efficiently transport oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues.
What molecule is important in the formation of the heme portion of the hemoglobin molecule?
iron
What does the hemoglobin in blood contain?
Hemoglobin is made up of heme and globular protein. The heme contains iron inside a ring of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen molecules. The protein chains are complex helical structures.
