Why is oxygenated blood red and non oxygenated blood maroon?

Oxygenated blood is bright red due to the presence of hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen and reflects red light when it is oxygen-rich. In contrast, non-oxygenated blood appears darker, or maroon, because hemoglobin changes shape when it releases oxygen, altering the way it absorbs and reflects light. This color difference helps indicate the blood's oxygen content as it circulates through the body.


Why is De-oxygenated blood darker red?

Well, honey, de-oxygenated blood is darker red because it doesn't have any oxygen in it. Oxygen-rich blood is bright red, like a cherry on top of a sundae, while de-oxygenated blood is more like a sad, wilted rose. So, when your blood is feeling blue and lacking oxygen, it's gonna look darker because it's missing that vibrant red color.


Why is blood color bright cherry red as it enters from the heart to the different parts of the body?

Because it is oxygenated blood When the blood is oxygenated it means that the iron atom (hemoglobin) of erythrocytes has carried the oxygen. The hemoglobin combined with oxygen gives red color to the blood. Some animals has another atom in blood which is able to bind to oxygen for example octopus blood contains copper which binds to oxygen and it gives the blood a blue color.
