Can Our Blood Not Be Red In Colour? | BYJU'S Fun Facts

What is the color of blood? Red, isn’t it? But is it possible for it to not be red? What if we told you that blood can be green or purple as well? As it turns out, blood could feature in various shades of red or entirely different colors, depending on the species. In humans, it appears red because of the presence of hemoglobin, which contains iron atoms. Hemoglobin is essential for transferring oxygen from your lungs to tissues using blood as the medium. When iron and oxygen combine, it gives our blood the red color we see. And then there are species, like octopus, whose blood is blue due to the presence of 'Hemocyanin' which mainly contains copper atoms instead of iron. What are the other species with different colored blood? Could it even be green or pink? What do the different shades of red tell us about blood? Watch this video and find out why blood comes in a rainbow of colors.

Their animations like white blood cells , proteins 😆😆😆 nice a big loud applaud for you byju's team 👏🙌👍🏻👌💪❤👏🙌👍🏻

[@pampareja8184]

What causes green blood?
Hemoglobin contains an atom of iron to bind to oxygen. In sulfhemoglobin, the sulphur atom prevents the iron from binding to oxygen, and since it's the oxygen-iron bonds that make our blood appear red, with sulfhemoglobin blood appears dark blue, green or black

[@besmartbefearless4750]

There are 2.4 Trillion red blood cells in one pint of blood.

[@sanchitakamath227]

The skinks' green blood comes from high levels of biliverdin, a green bile pigment that, when converted to bilirubin, causes jaundice. The excess of green bile pigment essentially eclipses the normal ruddy hue of their red blood cells. #answerfound

[@Irfanmahroof]

[@vishistashetty499]

Skinks have green blood because:- high concentration of green bile and that green bile pigment is called BILIVERDIN. :)
