Oxygen Carry Structure Red Blood Cells Adapted Biconcave

Red blood cells are adapted to carry oxygen due to their biconcave shape, hemoglobin content, and lack of a nucleus to maximize space.

Les globules rouges sont adaptés pour transporter l'oxygène grâce à leur forme bicôncave, leur hémoglobine et l'absence de noyau pour plus d'espace.

Front How is the structure of red blood cells adapted to carry oxygen?
Back
  • A biconcave shape to give them large surface area for absorbing oxygen
  • Contain haemoglobin which carries oxygen
  • No nuclues, which allows more room for haemohlobin to carry oxygen
