A red blood cell count test measures how many red blood cells (RBCs) are in your blood. The red blood cells, or erythrocytes, have hemoglobin – a protein that transports oxygen to all parts of your body. The amount of oxygen transported to your body parts depends on how many red blood...
How does oxygen influence energy metabolism? Explain in detail how hemoglobin transports oxygen. Describe how O2 moves from the atmosphere to the mitochondria in the cells in the body and how it's transported in the blood? Which form is dominant? How does CO2 move from cells to the atmosphere...
Starting with first principles, as we breathe, our lungs are taking in air and extracting oxygen from it. The oxygen is transferred into the bloodstream and picked up by combining with hemoglobin that coats red cells. This represents a transport system and the oxygen has to be delivered to ea...
Describe how oxygen is transported by hemoglobin within red blood cells. Why do some cells have microvilli? The major function of red blood cells is Why do frog blood cells have nuclei? Why does the digestive system need blood? Why does sickle cell hemoglobin behave differently from normal hemo...
That chemical,stercobilin, is a product of the breakdown ofhemoglobin– an iron-containing protein in red blood cells that allows oxygen to be transported around the body. Without sercobilin, your poop would probably look pale or even white. That’s because most of the chemicals that give foo...
