Not only are oxygen molecules are transported to the toes (and other parts of the body), it is essential that they get there, as they are required by all the cells of the body.
The oxygen molecules are carried in the blood by a protein called Haemoglobin that sits in the red blood cells. Each Haemoglobin contains four iron atoms, and each of these can coordinate an oxygen molecule. This process is easily reversible and the oxygen is released in the parts of the body where it is required.
What else can I help you with?
Oxygen molecules are made of 2 oxygen atoms that are bound together. Ozone molecules which are very different from oxygen molecules are made of 3 oxygen atoms that are bound together.?
Yep. That is true.
How would the concentration of ozone molecules change if the concentration of oxygen molecules decreased?
If the concentration of oxygen molecules decreases, the concentration of ozone molecules would also decrease since ozone is formed from oxygen molecules in the presence of ultraviolet light. With less oxygen available, there would be fewer molecules available to form ozone.
What is a protein that binds with oxygen molecules?
Hemoglobin binds with oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule.
How many oxygen atoms are there in dioxide molecules?
There are 2 oxygen atoms in dioxide
Which of the molecules are diatomic molecules in ethyl alcohol?
Oxygen and hydrogen have diatomic molecules.
How oxygen enters the cells?
Oxygen is able to go into a cell by diffusion. The oxygen molecules are small enough to go through the cell membrane with that process.
What food molecules go into the blood?
The small molecules such as digested fat, carbohydrates and proteins.
Why is nonpolar oxygen soluble in polar water?
Nonpolar oxygen is soluble in polar water due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between the oxygen molecules and water molecules. The polar nature of water allows it to interact with the nonpolar oxygen molecules, enabling them to dissolve and become distributed within the water.
What are the total number of atoms in two oxygen molecules?
There are 4 oxygen atoms in two oxygen molecules.
How does air go from your nose to your toes?
The short answer is that it doesn't. The toes, like the rest of the body, only need the oxygen from the air. Air passes into the lungs when we breathe in and oxygen passes through the walls of the alveoli into the blood capillaries. Here it combines with haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin. The blood travels to the heart in the pulmonary vein and then off around the body in the arteries. Eventually some of it reaches the toes and gives up its oxygen to the cells, where it is used in respiration.
Oxygen molecules are made of 2 oxygen atoms that are bound together. Ozone molecules which are very different from oxygen molecules are made of 3 oxygen atoms that are bound together.?
Yep. That is true.
Does oxygen exist as atoms or molecules?
molecules
How would the concentration of ozone molecules change if the concentration of oxygen molecules decreased?
If the concentration of oxygen molecules decreases, the concentration of ozone molecules would also decrease since ozone is formed from oxygen molecules in the presence of ultraviolet light. With less oxygen available, there would be fewer molecules available to form ozone.
How many out of 200 air molecules are oxygen?
Air is 21% oxygen so 21% of 200 is 42 oxygen molecules.
How many molecules are in 23.0 moles in oxygen?
23 moles of oxygen contain 138,509.10e23 molecules.
What is a protein that binds with oxygen molecules?
Hemoglobin binds with oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule.
Are oxygen and hydrogen compounds or molecules?
Hydrogen and oxygen are elements that usually take the form of molecules.
