When the erythrocytes are destroyed, haemoglobin breaks down, the heme part of it goes through a series of transformation:
Heme → biliverdin (green pigment)
biliverdin → bilirubin (orange-yellow pigment)
Bilirubin + blood albumin → bound bilirubin (in peripheral blood)
Bound bilirubin + glucuronic acid → conjugated bilirubin. (in liver)
Conjugated bilirubin + intestinal bacteria → several pigments, including
- stercobolin (orange-brown pigment, excreted in feces) and
- urobilinogen (reabsorbed into bile/blood, finally excreted in urine)

What is the respiratory pigment of an earthworm?
the respiratory pigment in humans is hemoglobin
What is the dark green pigment produced from hemoglobin when red blood cells are destroyed?
The dark green pigment produced from hemoglobin when red blood cells are destroyed is called biliverdin. It is eventually converted into bilirubin, which gives bile its yellow color.
What is the pigment containing iron called?
The pigment containing iron is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body.
When hemoglobin molecules are decomposed what greenish pigment called is formed?
Biliverdin is the greenish pigment that is formed when hemoglobin molecules are decomposed. It is eventually converted to bilirubin.
When hemoglobin molecules are decomposed a greenish pigment called?
Biliverdin.
Red pigment in red blood cells?

An erythrocyte contains a red pigment called?
Haemoglobin (Hb) is a red coloured protein pigment found within Red Blood CellsIt consists of two basic partsthe iron containing pigment haemthe protein globin
The pigment that carries the oxygen in red blood cells is?
The pigment that carries oxygen in red blood cells is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein that contains iron and binds to oxygen in the lungs, transporting it to tissues throughout the body.
What pigment is released when a hemoglobin molecule is broken apart?
When a hemoglobin molecule is broken apart, the iron pigment is released. This is what is called the -"heme" part of the molecule.
The Red Pigment is called?

What is the biological term of oxygen carrying pigment found in red blood corpuscles?
heomoglobin..... a comlex compound of proteins with iron......
What Destruction of red blood cells results in the waste product called?
The destruction of red blood cells results in the waste product called bilirubin. Bilirubin is a yellow compound that is produced when hemoglobin from old red blood cells is broken down in the liver.
