Answer:

given,

a typical RBC contains about 270 million hemoglobin molecules.

one Hb molecule carries 4 oxygen molecules.

  1 Hb molecule contains = 4 O₂ molecules.

then, 270 million Hb will contain = 270×4 million O₂ molecules.

                                                      = 1080 million  O₂ molecules.

theoretically, it is possible.

Explanation:

hemoglobin has two alpha and two beta subunits. each subunits contains 1 molecule of oxygen. 98.5%  O₂ is bond to hemoglobin.

Most of the carbon dioxide is transported by
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

a. hemoglobin in red blood cells

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is constantly produced by cells during cellular metabolism (cellular respiration), generating a concentration difference between the interior of the cell and its exterior (intercellular or interstitial space), and a consequent diffusion of this carbon dioxide into the interstitial fluid. Interstitial fluid now has a higher concentration of carbon dioxide than blood plasma, which causes a diffusion into the capillary. Carbon dioxide is carried by hemoglobin or dissolved in plasma.
