Functions of red blood cells
During transportation of co2 what's the first thing that could happen
Bonds to amino acids chains
What is blue red blood cells called
Deoxyhemoglobin
What color do you have if red blood cells don't have o2
Blue
Hemoglobin is made when?
During erythropoisies
What is bright red blood cells called
Oxyhemoglobin
Third function of red blood cells
Transportation of CO2
Second function of red blood cells
Transportation of o2 cells that need it
Location of deoxyhemoglobin
Veins
Third way of co2 transportation (not chemical)
carries it as a dissolved gas in plasma like co2 in carbonated beverage
Second way of co2 transportation
Chemically combining with plasma
What happens when it is chemically combining with plasma
Co2+h20— enzyme h2co3 ——- h++hco3 Combines with carbonate acid / makes bicarbonate ion
Fourth function of red blood cells
Contains enzyme known as carbonic anhydrase
Due to drugs, hemoglobin can become oxidized which is called?
Cyanosis, turns skin blue
Chemically combining with plasma accounts for how much
67%
How much does carbaminohemoglobin account for?
11% of Co2 transportation
Location of oxyhemoglobin
Arteries
When red blood cells have o2 what color are they and why?
Bright red/ hemoglobin
When co2 binds when amino acids, what molecule is created
Carbaminohemoglobin
Hemoglobin also carries what
Carbon monoxide
First function of red blood cells
Production of protein pigment hemoglobin
carbonic anhydrase does what
Regulates combo of co2 and h2o, contrails the reaction of chemically combining with plasma which in turn controls ph
