What are the six structural features of the red blood cell?
well The most honourable duty of red blood cells is to carry oxygen gas around the body. Although they do carry a little carbon dioxide sometimes, most of this unwanted gas is transported by the plasma
What are the the cells that carry oxygen?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin. These cells are also known as erythrocytes.
What causes red blood cells to be made?
There are different types of blood cells. Red blood cells, which I assume you mean, are made of a molecule called haemoglobin in a protein shell. Haemoglobin binds with oxygen to become Oxyhaemoglobin, allowing red blood cells to transport oxygen around the body.
What is the function for a red blood cell?
The function of the red blood cell is to carry oxygen to body tissues. Its structural features that allow this include the hemoglobin molecule, its anuclear state, and its biconcave shape.
Does cartilage synthesize red blood cells?
No, cartilage does not synthesize red blood cells. Red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue that provides structural support and cushioning in the body.
Does every part of the body have red blood cells?
As the name says, red blood cells are found in the blood. If there is blood there, there is red blood cells.
What happens if red blood cells were placed into breaker with plasma?
If red blood cells were placed into a beaker with plasma, the red blood cells would absorb the liquid and start to expand due to the osmotic pressure. Eventually, the red blood cells may burst (hemolysis) if the osmotic pressure is too high compared to their structural integrity. This would release hemoglobin into the plasma.
What cells are in the bloodstream?
The cells in the bloodstream include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues, white blood cells help fight infections, and platelets aid in blood clotting.
What is the blood cell containing hemoglobin?
Red blood cells (also called erythrocytes)
Do all cells work exactly the same?
No there are white blood cells, red blood cells, (and I'm not sure if there are others) and they all have different purposes and jobs. white blood cells protect red blood cells from getting infected. if a red blood cell is infected then the white blood cells get rid of it.
What blood cells contain haemoglobin?
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
What is the difference between white blood cells and red blood cells?
White blood cells have a nucleus and red blood cells don't.
