Heamoglobin is a iron-containing protein found in red blood cells. It is the part of our blood that carries the oxygen.

Do Red Blood Cells make hemglobin?

Yes, in a way. The cell has a nucleus before it actually becomes a true red blood cell. The genes in the nucleus makes the hemoglobin.

How do periwinkles breathe?

periwinkles belong to a group called gastropods... Almost all marine gastropods breathe with a gill, but many freshwater species, and the majority of terrestrial species, have a pallial lung. The respiratory protein in almost all gastropods is a hemocyanin but a pulmonate family planorbidae have hemglobin as respiratory protein. sources :www.wikipedia.com


How can someone with sickle cell survive a malarial infection?

Yes. Because of the structure of hemoglobin in a patient with sickle cell anemia, malarial parasites that attempt to infect red blood cells cause the red blood cell to burst before it can be infected, effectively starving the parasite of a host. Since the allele for sickle cell anemia is codominant with the allele for regular hemglobin, sometimes people whose parents have sickle cell can pass on their resistance to malaria to their children without passing on the entire disease for sickle cell.


How many time greater is the affinity of hemoglobin for carbon monoxide greater than the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen?

The affinity of hemoglobin for CO is roughly 20,000 times greater than that of oxygen in vitro. In vivo, the affinity of hemoglobin for CO is roughly 200-225 greater than that of oxygen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- O2 has stronger bond than CO. Therefore, the oxygen in CO loves the iron in the hemoglobin as iron ends with two electrons which complete the 6 electrons in the oxygen. In vivo, the affinity of hemglobin for CO is about 153 from 141x153/141. by amin elsersawi
