Capillaries are made up of very thin and flat tissues that are spread across the body. Substances are able to diffuse through the capillaries because of the presence of blood. Particularly, the red blood cells that make-up blood within the body. These cells have the ability to carry oxygen, carbon dioxide, glucose, and water to pass through the capillaries.

What is true concerning hemoglobin.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

A protein molecule present in the RBCs, which helps in the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the different parts of the body and brings back carbon dioxide, that is, collected from different parts of the body back to the lungs is known as hemoglobin.  

The general features of hemoglobin are that it comprises four molecules of protein in the form of globulin chains. In adults, the molecules of hemoglobin comprise two beta-globulin chains and two alpha globulin chains, while in infants and fetuses, the beta chains are least found, and is substituted by two gamma chains.  

Each globulin chain comprises an essential iron-containing compound porphyrin, which is termed as heme. Together both iron and heme play an essential role in circulating oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood. This iron gives the red appearance to the blood.
