BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM
(chapter 11)
The transport of oxygen in blood
- Haemoglobin
• Hb + 4O2 → Hb(O2)4
• Over 95% of O2 is carried in this way
• Red blood cell (erythrocyte)
Adaptation of RBC in transport of
gases
Lack a nucleus
Biconcave disc
Porphine
Reversible addition of O2 to hemoglobin
Oxyhemoglobin
oxygen-carrying form of hemoglobin
a diamagnetic molecule that creates no magnetic
moment, because oxygen molecules are bound to
iron
Deoxyhemoglobin
The form of hemoglobin without oxygen
A paramagnetic molecule that generates magnetic
moments by its unpaired iron electrons.
