The central atom in haemoglobin is iron. This molecule carries oxygen and also removes carbon dioxide. Iron can be complexed by a number of ligands such as H2O , CO, CN, NH3 etc. It sets up what is known as an octahedral crystal field.
When breathed in the carbon monoxide bonds with the haemoglobin in your blood (actually the iron atom - it complexes it), stopping the transport of oxygen which can no longer bond to the iron atom which has been preferentially complexed by the CO. Incidentally, CN (cyanide) and EDTA and also Paraquat, complex the iron even more strongly which is why they are poisonous.
Rats are not allergic to carbon monoxide, but it is toxic to them just as it is to us.
No - carbon is an element, while carbon monoxide is an oxygen atom attached to carbon, turning it into a gas which is quite toxic.
Carbon monoxide is both toxic and flammable.
No, vapor does not contain carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline or wood. Vapors are typically composed of a mixture of gases and do not necessarily contain carbon monoxide.
It is not toxic for cell. Buut it is harmful hemoglobin.
Yes, carbon monoxide is toxic. It is a colorless, odorless gas that can cause poisoning when inhaled in high concentrations. Prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal.
Rats are not allergic to carbon monoxide, but it is toxic to them just as it is to us.
Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas; an intoxication can lead to death.
No - carbon is an element, while carbon monoxide is an oxygen atom attached to carbon, turning it into a gas which is quite toxic.
Soda does not have any amounts of carbon monoxide. It has carbon dioxide dissolved in it, but no carbon monoxide.
A high concentration of carbon monoxide means that the haemoglobin in your red blood cells is being destroyed. Carbon monoxide is a very toxic gas.
Carbon monoxide is both toxic and flammable.
carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is toxic to humans and animals when inhaled in high concentrations. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels such as gasoline, wood, and natural gas. Carbon monoxide poisoning can be deadly and it is important to have carbon monoxide detectors in living spaces to alert individuals of its presence.
No, vapor does not contain carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline or wood. Vapors are typically composed of a mixture of gases and do not necessarily contain carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless gas that is indetectable to people and animals, and toxic to them in higher concentrations. You might wish to read the carbon monoxide article on wikipedia for more information.
