1. Definition of Hemoglobin: Hemoglobin is a red-colored pigment found in red blood cells. It is essential for various functions in the blood. 2. Binding Affinity: Hemoglobin has a strong binding affinity for gases, specifically oxygen and carbon dioxide. This means it can easily attach to th...
It is postulated that hemoglobin acts as an oxygenase in plants. The review is a consequence of a CSPP Gold Medal Presentation at the Plant Biology 1997 Meeting in Vancouver, B.C.: nonsymbiotic hemoglobins, hypoxia, barley, flooding tolerance.doi:10.1139/cjb-76-5-707...
Much of the reason that HIV infection risk is greater for women is due to anatomy. Tissues in the vagina are more easily infected than those in a man's penis.6A woman is the receiving partner of fluids that are more likely to cause infection. Social factors also may place women at a g...
performing such tasks as copying genes during cell division and developing new proteins. Protein receptors on the outside of cells communicate with "partner" proteins within the cell. A "carrier" protein is used to make hemoglobin, the part of your red blood cells that ...
What is the function of DNA? Genes encode proteins that perform all sorts of functions for humans (and other living beings). The human gene HBA1, for example, contains instructions for building the protein alpha globin, which is a component of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in redblo...
Bile is made in the liver but stored by the gallbladder. It gets its greenish-yellow color from the pigments biliverdin (green) and bilirubin (brownish-yellow). Both pigments are molecular byproducts of hemoglobin degradation in red blood cells. Bile was first discovered by a German chemist ...
Is hemoglobin a carbohydrate, lipid, protein, or nucleic acid? What is the structure of a nucleotide? What is the molecule rRNA a component of? What are the three components of nucleic acids? Which lipids have fused carbon rings? Which organic molecules are nucleic acids?

Which type of mutation occurs in reproductive cells and can be passed to offspring? What is the difference between genetic drift and mutation? What type of mutation is the sickle hemoglobin mutation? What chromosome has the genetic mutation for cystic fibrosis?
Hemoglobin is aprotein. Ribosomes are structures found in the cytoplasm of cells that build proteins. The information needed to build hemoglobin is stored in the form of a gene (DNA). DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
