Why does the transfer of carbon and oxygen take place

Biology
2 answers:
Elza [17]3 years ago
5 0

The transfer of the  carbon-dioxide and oxygen occurs during the process of the respiration. The oxygen from the air we breathe in our lungs is diffused into the blood present in the capillaries surrounding the alveloi of the lungs. The carbon-dioxide is diffused into the lungs, which is then breathed out. This transfer of the gases is necessary as the oxygen is required by the body to break down the fatty acids and other components in order to release energy for different processes of the body. The carbon-dioxide released after the generation of the energy is eliminated from the body by this exchange.

Explain why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins
Harman [31]


The sole reason why red blood cells are unable to replace damaged proteins is that red blood cells lack DNA and cell organelles such as nucleus, ribosomes and mitochondria which are crucial for protein synthesis, assembly and repair. In other words they lack both the information and the machinery for making or repair of proteins.

Due to  lack of DNA and cell organelles, red blood cells cannot be able satisfy the central dogma which  summarizes synthesis of proteins as DNA → RNA → proteins.

DNA has the genetic information on how proteins should be made, RNA is responsible for transferring the information from DNA in the cell nucleus to the ribosomes  in the cytoplasm,  then translating or decoding  this information, which results in the making of  protein.
