Question

What elements make up the chemical compound of blood?

Answer 1

Blood is a body fluid found in humans and other animals. In most vertebrates, blood is made up of blood cells (corpuscles) that are suspended in blood plasma, which is the fluid part of the blood.

Complete answer:
Water, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, hormones, vitamins, electrolytes, dissolved gases, and cellular wastes make up 99 percent of red blood cells, with white blood cells and platelets accounting for the rest.

Blood is a fluid that transports oxygen and nutrients to cells while also transporting carbon dioxide and other waste products away from them. Blood may be a transport substance that's pumped to all or any areas of the body by the heart (or a similar structure), and returned to the heart to repeat the operation.
The chemical component of the blood is as follows- Hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and iron. The blood contains these elements in different proportions in the different components of the blood.

Hemoglobin in red blood cells transports oxygen for respiration through an iron atom in its composition. Hemoglobin is made up of globin chains. Heme is an essential iron-containing porphyrin compound contained in each globulin chain. An iron atom is embedded within the heme molecule, and it is responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in our blood. The iron in hemoglobin is also responsible for the blood's red colour.

Note: Blood is slightly denser and is approximately three to four times more viscous than water. Blood volume is variable but tends to be about 8% of body weight. Factors such as body size, the amount of adipose tissue, and electrolyte concentrations all affect blood volume.
