What does hemolyph do in insects?
Hemolymph (or Haemolymph) is the fluid equivalent to blood and serves a similar purpose. Unlike blood, there is no haemoglobin so it is not red. Instead, the oxygen-carrying molecule is haemocyanin.
Why do squids have 3 hearts?
squid have 3 hearts, they have one that pumps blood to either side of their gills and these two hearts surround the main heart (systemic heart) that pumps blood to the rest of the squids body
What animal is green?
All those animals that have haemocyanin as the respiratory pigment have their blood blue when oxygenated. Haemocyanin is the respiratory pigment akin to haemoglobin but hemocyanin has copper as the cofactor instead of iron which you find in haemoglobin. Animals belonging to class crustacea and those belonging to phylum Mollusca have hemocyanin, and hence they have blue blood. Some notable crustaceans are crabs, lobsters, shrimps. Some notable mollusks include Snails, whelks. mytilus, oysters, chitons, squids, sepia, octopus. Limulus, called a horseshoe crab, also has hemocyanin.
What ventricle contains deoxygenated blood?
what ventricile contains deoxynated blood
What are giant squids related to?
little squids
What is the circulation in a mollusca?
Circulatory system mainly of closed type, but some emptying into lacunae. Blood is blue and contains haemocyanin.
Do octopus have blood?
Both squids and octopuses have blue blood.Their blood is this colour because they use an oxygen-carrying molecule in their blood that contains copper.
Why does most molluscs and crustaceans use haemocyanin to transport oxygen?
it is because they do not have red blood cells .
What color is the gaint squids blood color?

Do squids have red blood?
Yes their blood is red
Do vampire squids drink blood?

What is elephant blood color?
All animals that have haemoglobin circulatory systems (which contains iron) have red blood, including elephants. Animals with haemocyanin systems (which contains copper) have a blueish blood as there is less oxygen absorption; lobster blood is almost grey as there is so little oxygen. Animals with haemolymphatic circulatory systems have a yellowish colour blood, which includes spiders and some insects. when my teacher said that elephant color is red and when it inhale it is pink understood.
What insect is blue?
horseshoe crabs do indeed have blue blood, this is because the protein that carries oxygen in their blood is haemocyanin. This protein is a pigment like the haemoglobin in our blood, but instead of using iron to carry the oxygen it uses copper. When iron is oxidised it goes red (hence our red blood) and when copper is oxidised it goes greeny blue (hence the blue blood). horseshoe crab is the animal that has blue blood,,,..but i have no idea of insects having blue blood^_^ All those animals that have haemocyanin as the respiratory pigment have their blood blue when oxygenated. Haemocyanin is the respiratory pigment akin to haemoglobin but hemocyanin has copper as the cofactor instead of iron which you find in haemoglobin.

Is there is hemoglobin in blue blood?
All human blood contains hemoglobin (spelled differently in different countries) Blood is bright red when oxygenated, and very dark red when oxygen is depleted (in veins) It is never blue. For animals that do have blue blood, ie, molluscs and many arthropods such as Horseshoe Crabs, this is due to the oxygen being carried by copper-containing haemocyanin, rather than iron-containing haemoglobin.
