What Is Hemoglobin?

Hemoglobin is the oxygen carrying pigment of red blood cells that gives them their red color and serves to convey oxygen to the tissues.

How is Hemoglobin important in the transport of oxygen in our bodies?

It Is important because hemoglobin is a protein that contains a metal.

Why is the transport of oxygen by hemoglobin a real-life example of chemical bonding?

The transport of oxygen by hemoglobin is a real-life example of chemical bonding because oxygen and hemoglobin's combine.

How is Hemoglobin related to a successful climb to the top of Mt.Everest?

Hemoglobin is related to a successful climb to the top of Mt.Everest because hemoglobin carries oxygen to the muscles and the higher the altitude is, the less oxygen there is.

What does pH have to do with the transport of oxygen by hemoglobin?

pH has to do with the transport of oxygen by hemoglobin because the normal blood pH is between 7.35 and 7.45. Hemoglobin added with oxygen releases hydrogen ions, making it a stronger acid.

What is blood doping?

Blood doping is a procedure in which an athlete is injected with his or her own blood or the blood of a family member prior to competition, purportedly increasing the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity owing to the addition of red blood cells.

What is EPO and why is it used?

EPO is a protein that is used to boost the production of red blood cells. It is used to enhance the athletic ability.

What are the medical uses of blood doping?

They were made for the use of emergencies. It is also usually done by athletes who compete in sports that depend highly on your level of endurance.

Why is blood doping used in sports?

Blood doping is used in sports because it enhances your performance by increasing red blood cells mass and there by delivering more oxygen to muscles

Provide one documented example of blood doping used in sport

PARIS, Aug. 25-Lance Armstrong is being haunted by his own seven-year-old stored urine samples, which French press reports claim offer damning evidence of long-ago blood doping by the American Tour de France legend.

Provide a 2nd documented example of blood doping in sport

Prosecutors have "reasonable suspicion" that the 34-year-old ski champ Noah Hoffmann was involved in illegal blood enrichment.

It can cause kidney damage

skin, eye, and body fluids turn yellow

Blood clots
