What is the chemical in cigarette smoke that reduces the ability of blood to carry oxygen?
Carbon monoxide is the chemical in cigarette smoke that reduces the ability of blood to carry oxygen. It binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells more readily than oxygen, displacing oxygen and impairing its transportation to tissues.
Which chemical in tobacco smoke binds to hemoglobin?
The chemical from tobacco smoke that binds with hemoglobin causing red blood cells to carry less oxygen is carbon monoxide.
Oxygen binds with hemoglobin in the blood to form?
oxygen binds with hemoglobin in the lungs and forms oxyhemoglobin.
What is a protein that binds with oxygen molecules?
Hemoglobin binds with oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule.
What component of cigarette smoke affects the ability of hemoglobin to carry oxygen the around the body?
Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells more easily than oxygen, reducing the amount of oxygen that hemoglobin can carry to body tissues. This decreases the efficiency of oxygen transport in the bloodstream.
What is the name of chemical inside the cell that oxygen is attached to?
The chemical inside the cell that oxygen is attached to is called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues throughout the body.
Is it a chemical or physical change when oxygen is incorporated into hemoglobin to bring it to the cells?
This is a chemical change. When oxygen binds to hemoglobin, it forms a new compound with a different chemical composition. This process involves breaking and forming chemical bonds.
What is a Chemical in red blood cells that carries oxygen?
Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. It binds to oxygen in the lungs and releases it to tissues in need. Hemoglobin also helps transport carbon dioxide waste back to the lungs for exhalation.
WHen hemoglobin binds its first oxygen molecule it is easier for other?
after one oxygen molecule binds to hemoglobin, it is easier for the other molecules to bind to the hemoglobin. this is known as cooperative binding.
When oxygen binds to hemoglobin this configuration of hemoglobin is termed what?
Oxy, relaxed
What part of blood binds oxygen?
Hemoglobin.
What gas found in cigarette smoke blocks the transport of oxygen by the hemoglobin in the blood?
CO (carbon monoxide). It binds to the same sites on hemoglobin that oxygen would, except with a much greater affinity than oxygen does. Think of hemoglobin as a bus transporting oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues, and think of CO as the guy who takes oxygen's seat so that he can't ride the bus. CO is also the chemical that kills people in house fires from smoke inhalation.
