Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide. Explain how this

Biology
1 answer:
Olegator [25]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Carbon Monoxide is a very harmful and toxic gas which is formed from incomplete combustion of carbon.

Explanation: red blood cells contain haemoglobin ,which are responsible for carrying oxygen into our body system. So oxygen combines with haemagoblin to form oxyhaemogoblin in the red blood cells .

so if a person starts to intake cigarettes which contain high amounts of carbon monoxide ,it reduces oxyhaemogoblin formation because it binds very tightly to the haemogoblin .then carboxyhaemogoblin is formed and its permanent so causing reduction in aerobic respiration, and reduction in oxygen transport and causing damages to heart muscles.

Hope this helps if you need any more explanation feel free to comment in the comment section below !!!

What criteria would you use to assess the reproductive success of a plant?
alexira [117]
Reproductive success is defined as the passing of genes onto the next generation in a way that they too can pass on those genes. This is not solely the number of offspring produced by an individual, but also, as Ronald Fisher outlined in 1915, the probable reproductive success of those offspring, making mate choice (a form of sexual selection) an important factor in this success,[1] making biological fitness a key element in the theories of natural selection and evolution.
