All oxygen transportation chemicals in animals employ a metal ion in the centre of a globin group. In higher animals it is Iron (the heme of hemaglobin), in the horseshoe crab it is Copper, which is why they have blue blood. In certain hemi-cordates it is zinc which gives them purple blood.

What do plants give animals?
Plants provide animals with food in the form of fruits, seeds, leaves, and nectar. They also offer shelter, nesting material, and protection from predators. Additionally, plants play a vital role in maintaining the oxygen levels in the atmosphere which animals need for respiration.
Can animals produce oxygen?
No, animals cannot produce oxygen. Plants, algae, and some bacteria are the primary producers of oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Animals, including humans, rely on consuming oxygen produced by these organisms to survive.
What gas is needed by animals to breathe in?
Animals need AIR to breath in - AIR is made up of about 80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen. The animals use the Oxygen in the AIR.NOTE if an animal were to breath 100% Oxygen this would eventually kill it, Pure Oxygen is toxic.They need to breath AIR.
How do animals get rid of oxygen?
Animals do not get rid of oxygen- they consume it. They get rid of carbon dioxide by exhaling it from their lungs (or gills).
How do plants and animals help each other in exchange of gases in atmosphere?
During the process of photosynthesis release oxygen and animals (we) inhale oxygen and release carbondioxide. This is how plants and animals depend on each other by symbiosys. Hope that helps...
What material enables animal hemoglobin to carry oxygen?
I believe the answer my friend is iron
Most larger animals transport oxygen in red blood cell.What are the advantages of this?
Transporting oxygen in red blood cells is advantageous for larger animals because red blood cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that binds to oxygen molecules, allowing for efficient oxygen transport throughout the body. Hemoglobin enables larger animals to meet their higher oxygen demands by increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, which is essential for sustaining their greater energy needs and larger size.
What is in the blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen?
Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen. Iron is an important component of hemoglobin.
What do plants receive from animals in photosynthesis?
plants receive carbon dioxide from animals whichh is something they need to make oxygen for us
What features of the cat enables it to obtain oxygen?
Its lungs...
How does oxygen use by animals?
Animals breathe in oxygen in the air.
What do plants give animals?
Plants provide animals with food in the form of fruits, seeds, leaves, and nectar. They also offer shelter, nesting material, and protection from predators. Additionally, plants play a vital role in maintaining the oxygen levels in the atmosphere which animals need for respiration.
What enables red blood cells to carry oxygen?
Hemoglobin.
How many cells do not have a nucleus?
Prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, do not have a defined nucleus. They have their genetic material floating in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells, like those found in animals and plants, have a defined nucleus that houses their genetic material.
How does the number of chambers in a vertebrate's heart affect the circulation of blood?
A four chambered heart completely separates the supply of blood with oxygen from the blood without oxygen. The separation enables more oxygen to reach body tissues. This separation is an adaption that supports the higher level of energy use required by land animals. Water animals usually don't have more than three heart chambers.
What enables us to live on earth?
Oxygen, trees, food, water.
Is the fate of the carbon dioxide the same in plants and animals?
No, in plants carbon dioxide is a raw material, or reactant, for photosynthesis. Plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. For animals, is is just a waste product.
