What else can I help you with?
Which cells in the blood contain haemoglobin?
Red Blood Cells (erythrocytes) contain haemoglobin.
What Substance enables your blood cells to carry oxygen?
The protein contained within blood cells that allows them to carry oxygen is called Haemoglobin. The haemoglobin molecule can carry up to four oxygen molecules which are exchanged for carbon dioxide molecules released as a waste product from cell metabolism.
Which component of blood carries oxygen throughout the body?
Blood is ~55% plasma and ~45% red blood cells (erythrocytes). These cells contain millions of molecules of the protein hemoglobin each of which can bind up to 4 oxygen molecules.
What is the role of haemoglobin in red blood cells?
it transports oxygen (there are 4 atoms of iron in one haemoglobin, which means that it can transport 4 molecules of oxygen..)
How is carbon dioxide transported from the production to the excretion of the substance from the body?
IT is transported in the blood attached to the haemoglobin molecules in red blood cells.
Where does blood get oxygen from?
Capillaries in your lungs provide oxygen to the haemoglobin molecules of red blood cells.
How do you get oxygen to all of your cells?
By the Haemoglobin in our red blood cells.
What blood cells contain haemoglobin?
Red blood cells because that is what carries oxygen throughout the body
A normal structure of red blood cell?
The basic structure of red blood cells is that they have a bi-concave shape to increase surface area, and lack a nucleus so that more haemoglobin can be packed in.
What transports oxygen to human cells?
haemoglobin in red blood cells
Is haemoglobin found in platelets?
Haemoglobin is found the red blood cell (RBC), not in the platelet.
How does the blood carry oxygen?
By the haemoglobin in the red blood cells and by plasma
