What protein carries oxygen in a RBC?

Iron actually helps oxygen molecules attach to red blood cells, so they can be transported through the body.


How many oxygen molecules can each Red Blood Cell carry?

Each Red Blood Cell can carry up to four oxygen molecules, which bind to hemoglobin proteins in the cell. This binding of oxygen to hemoglobin is crucial for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body.


When oxygen enters the blood it combines with the red blood cells and forms what?

Oxygen enters the blood stream via the erythrocyte (Red blood cell, RBC), I am not sure what you are asking but the hemoglobin inside the RBC has 4 "oxygen holder molecules" called Heme's where an iron molecule (Fe++) is stored, the Fe++ is what oxygen attaches to.


How much hemoglobin can a RBC carry?

Each red blood cell can carry approximately 270 million hemoglobin molecules. Hemoglobin is the protein responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.


What protein on RBC's carries oxygen?

Hemoglobin


How oxygen gets into your blood?

The blood composed of RBC,WBC and platelets. The RBC is the oxygen carrier. Blood goes to the lungs for oxygenation to be distributed to the entire body.


The relationship between hemoglobin and oxygen?

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that binds with oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues throughout the body. Each hemoglobin molecule can carry four oxygen molecules. The oxygenated hemoglobin then releases oxygen to cells in need of it.
