Referring to Anatomy and Physiology what is Hb or HB?
Hb (or HB) in anatomy and physiology stands for hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and removes carbon dioxide from them. Hemoglobin also gives blood its red color.
Which part o the hemoglobin molecule does carbon dioxide attach?
Carbon dioxide primarily binds to the globin part of the hemoglobin molecule, specifically to specific amino acid residues within the globin chains. This binding forms carbaminohemoglobin and plays a role in the transport of carbon dioxide from tissues to the lungs for elimination.
What is unloading of oxygen?
Unloading of oxygen refers to the release of oxygen from hemoglobin molecules into tissues where oxygen is needed for cellular respiration. This occurs as a result of a decrease in oxygen concentration or an increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the tissues, which promotes the dissociation of oxygen from hemoglobin.
What is the suffix -capnia refers to?
The suffix -capnia refers to conditions related to carbon dioxide levels in the blood or tissues. It is commonly used in medical terms to indicate conditions such as hypercapnia (high carbon dioxide levels) or hypocapnia (low carbon dioxide levels).
Is carbon dioxide made of one atom of carbon dioxide and two atoms of dioxide?
No. These is no such element as "dioxide." Carbon dioxide is made of one atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen.
External respiration refers to the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between?
External respiration refers to the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the blood in the pulmonary capillaries. This process allows for oxygen to be taken up by the blood and carbon dioxide to be removed from it.
What is the difference between carbon sinks and sequestration?
Carbon sequestration refers to the process of capture and long term storage of the atmospheric carbon dioxide. The carbon sink refers to the natural or artificial reservoir that accumulates and stores some carbon-containing chemical compound for an indefinite period.
What element does dioxide come from?
"Dioxide" typically refers to a compound of two oxygen atoms bonded with another element. For example, carbon dioxide comes from the element carbon, sulfur dioxide from sulfur, and nitrogen dioxide from nitrogen.
In carbon dioxide what is the dioxide part?
The actual molecule looks like this: O=C=O (a carbon atom with double-bonded oxygen atoms on each side) Dioxide means "two oxygen atoms"
What is carboxyhemoglobin?
Well, I don't know the whole answer, but heme oglobil is the part of a red blood cell responsible for attaching oxygen so that it can be transported through the blood. Amino means protein. Carb could mean carbon or carboxly , which refers to which refers to the carboxyl side of a protein. That is a start any way. Maybe it is a RBC with a carbon monoxide attached to it instead of oxygen. (like what happens when you get carbon monoxide poisoning). Well.. carbon dioxide transported in the blood combines with hemoglobin, but it binds to globin's amino acid rather than to the heme group. It occurs more readily when hemoglobin is in the reduced state(dissociated from oxygen)
What does absorption mean in the carbon cycle?
Absorption in the carbon cycle refers to the process by which carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is taken up by plants through photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. This absorption of carbon by plants helps regulate the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The term carbon footprint refers to the amount of carbon dioxide?
The term carbon footprint refers to the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere as a result of human activities, such as driving cars, using electricity, and producing goods. It is a measure of the impact individuals, organizations, or products have on the environment in terms of their contribution to climate change.
