The Oval Office exerts tremendous gravitational pull on its occupants. President Obama, in a fingers-crossed wish, has already predicted that the tug of the office eventually will move Trump into a more conventional orbit. Not so far.
Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes. The red blood cells transport oxygen through the circulatory system to the cells and tissues of the body. In the cells, oxygen and glucose support glycolysis, the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The red blood cells are filled with hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying part of the red blood cell. Hemoglobin can also be spelled âhaemoglobin.â Each red blood cell contains 250 to 300 million molecules of hemoglobin. A molecule of hemoglobin is made up of one globin protein, with four iron-containing heme groups.
Red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, have one major function in the body: to transport oxygen from the lungs to all of the tissues of the body, and to a lesser extent, to transport carbon dioxide away.These cells contain hemoglobin, which makes them highly efficient oxygen transporters.t the lungs, red blood cells participate in gas exchange, trading carbon dioxide they have picked up elsewhere in the body for oxygen molecules taken in by the lungs. Then, the blood returns to circulation, carrying the oxygen with it.
