Oxygen is transported around the body by binding to hemoglobin in red blood cells, which then circulate through the bloodstream to tissues that need oxygen. Carbon dioxide is transported mostly in the form of bicarbonate ions in the blood, with a smaller amount carried bound to hemoglobin or dissolved directly in plasma.
What else can I help you with?
Do CO2 bind to hemoglobin in the same binding site as O2?
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) binds to a different site on hemoglobin than oxygen (O2). CO2 primarily binds to the amino groups of the protein portion of hemoglobin, forming carbaminohemoglobin. This is an important way that CO2 is transported in the blood.
Which way would O2 and CO2 diffuse during internal respiration?
O2 would diffuse into the cells, and CO2 would diffuse into the systemic capillaries.
What is the balanced chemical reaction of CO2---CO O2?
This reaction is:2 CO2 = 2 CO + O2
What are the missing coefficients to C6H12O6 O2--- CO2 H2O?
The balanced equation for the reaction of C6H12O6 with O2 to form CO2 and H2O is: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
What coefficient would the O2 have after balancing C4H8 O2-CO2 H2O?
the answers is 6 _apex
How is oxygen and carbon dioxide transported in humans?
O2 and Co2 are transported throughout human body by blood. 97% of O2 combines with haemoglobin of RBCs to form oxyhaemoglobin within the lungs. The oxyhaemoglobin then gives out O2 to all the cells. The remaining 3% gets dissolved in blood plasma. 70% of CO2 gets dissolved in blood plasma to reach the lungs from the tissues. The remaining contents of Co2 then combines with haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin to reach the lungs from the tissues.
What substance needed by the body cells enters the body through the lungs?
O2 and Co2, but we breathe out the Co2 again + the O2 which is converted in more Co2
Do CO2 bind to hemoglobin in the same binding site as O2?
No, carbon dioxide (CO2) binds to a different site on hemoglobin than oxygen (O2). CO2 primarily binds to the amino groups of the protein portion of hemoglobin, forming carbaminohemoglobin. This is an important way that CO2 is transported in the blood.
Why do you have a lungs?
to expel CO2 from your body and to allow O2 into your bloodstream
What are the functions of blood in respiration?
Blood in the body carried respiratory gases (i.e. O2 and CO2) around the body to cells where it's needed for cellular respiration.
Three major characteristics of the respiratory system?
1)Breathing2) Transport of O2 from the lungs to the rest of the body; transport of CO2 from the tissues back to the lungs3) O2 diffuses from Red Blood Cells into body cells; CO2 moves into the blood
Where does the blood go after it was pump to the body?
it will go back to the lungs carrying CO2 to exchange with O2
What describes the role of lungs in gas exchange A takes in O2 from blood B produces CO2 as a cellular respiration waste C extracts O2 from the atmosphere for body cells D gives CO2 to capillaries?
It extracts oxygen from the atmosphere for use by body cells.
What element supports all animal and plant life?
co2 and o2
What is the balanced chemical reaction of CO2---CO O2?
This reaction is:2 CO2 = 2 CO + O2
What gas does the body require And what gas does it produce?
Requires: O2 (Oxygen) Produces: CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
Why is blood pumped to the lungs before its pumped round the body?
To remove CO2 and to replenish the O2 in the blood.
