What is the component of red blood cells responsible for oxygen transport?

Biology
1 answer:
Airida [17]3 years ago
4 0
<span>There's one important component in red blood cells called hemoglobin, a special protein. Its function is to aid the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and the movement of carbon dioxide back to the lungs so it can be breathed out. Another interesting fact about hemoglobin is that it is responsible for the red color of the red blood cells.</span>

The cells of plants and animals are similar, except for a few different structures. Which structures are only found in plant cel
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

large central vacuole

cell wall

Explanation:

Let me clear some things up for you. There are two types of cells - Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes. The principle difference between these types of cells are the structure of their genome. In case of prokaryotes, the genomic matter do not have a defined structure, it just kind of floats around in the protoplasm. But in the eukaryotes, the genome is more structured, have all kinds of proteins associated with them, and is surrounded by a two layered sack called the nuclear membrane. Both plant and animal cells have these feature of structured nucleus, therefore, they are both eukaryotes.

Now for the difference between plant and animal cells. the features you mentioned are unique about plant cells, but do not rule them out from being eukaryotes, as the 'true' structure of the nucleus is still there. Cell walls are necessary for the plant cells because plants do not posses an endoskeleton like most of the animals do. The cell wall makes the whole plant rigid so they don't fall apart or appear like a blob. Chloroplast is where photosynthesis happens, so it should most definitely be in a plant cell. Animals don't do photosynthesis so they don't have chloroplasts. Vacuoles are also present in animal cells, but they are much smaller, greater in number, and are known as lysosomes. Functionally they are virtually the same.

Katyanochek1 [597]
The answer would be hypothalamus.

Hypothalamus is a part of the brain that located below the thalamus (hypo mean "under"). Hypothalamus can control nervous and endocrine system. It was divided into front/anterior, tuberal and back/posterior part. Thirst would be regulated by anterior and posterior part, temperature by anterior part and sexual behaviour by anterior part.
