Nandani Hemnauth Bio 207 final intro
Introduction Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are the most common type of blood cells and the vertebrate’s primary means of delivering oxygen to the cells of the body through the blood. The cells are composed of hemoglobin, a molecule that binds to oxygen and also carries some of the carbon dioxide produced in the tissue back to the lungs. The red color of erythrocytes is also the result of hemoglobin, which consists of iron and protein; increase or decrease in the concentration of hemoglobin can result in different shapes, colors and sizes of the erythrocytes (Ali, Ahmad, George, Der, and Aziz; 2013)
