All of the cells in the body need oxygen. Hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells transport oxygen through the bloodstream. Oxyg
en is loaded onto hemoglobin molecules in the lungs and unloaded from the hemoglobin molecules in the tissues. What drives the unloading of oxygen from hemoglobin molecules in the tissues? the high partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the tissues the low partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the tissues the low partial pressure of oxygen in the tissues the high partial pressure of oxygen in the tissues
Hemoglobin is a protein found in the red blood cells that is responsible for the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the tissues in the body. The partial pressure determines whether oxygen is loaded or unloaded into the hemoglobin.
When there is lack of oxygen in our bodies, we experience hypoxia.
