Why is blood in red colour?
Blood is not always red. The colour is dependant on it's exposure to oxygen. If there is oxygen in the blood it has a red colour. That is why whenever you bleed your blood is red, because it reacts with the oxygen in the air. When there is no oxygen in your blood though, your blood has a blue colour.
Why do red blood cells turn blue?
Lack of oxygen causes blood cells to appear blue. Remember that all veins except the pulmonary vein carry 'oxygen depleted blood' or deoxygenated blood. Dont worry that your veins appear blue though! Its fine.
Does hemoglobin have proteins?
Hemoglobin is an iron-containing protein. Hemoglobin contains a hemo prosthetic group that has an iron atom at its center. When the iron is bound to oxygen, the hemo group is red in color (oxyhemogoblin), and when it lacks oxygen (deoxygenated form) it is blue-red.
Why are blood cells are red?
Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, an iron-containing molecule that binds oxygen. As with rust, the iron compounds turn brighter red when the hemoglobin absorbs oxygen.The blood in your veins are blue. Red blood is red because the color of oxyhemoglobin is red because there is iron in oxyhemoglobin, causing that blood red color.Red blood cells are red because the iron in the heme group of the four hemoglobin proteins react with oxygen (think what color rust is) to produce a red color.

Why blood red in colour?
The hemoglobin in the blood goes red when it absorbs oxygen. Blood is not always red, if it is lacking in oxygen, it is infact blue. If you look at the veins in your arm or hand, they do not have much blood and therefore will be blue. You will never see blue blood because if you cut yourself, the blood is exposed to the air, allowing it to be oxygenated and thus turning it red.

Why is human blood red?
Because of the presence of hemoglobin in our blood.Human blood is red only when it is oxygenated, meaning oxygen molecules have bound to hemoglobin in the red blood cells after the blood passed through lung tissues. Blood where no oxygen is bound to the hemoglobin will be blue in color.Inside the body, blood leaving the lungs is bright red because it is freshly oxygenated. Blood returning from various parts of the body to the lungs will be blue because it is is devoid of oxygen.Blood from a cut or wound is always red because oxygen in the air binds with the hemoglobin.
If an astronaut died in space in a crash of some kind and he was bleeding would his blood be blue or red?
