Question
which of the following is responsible for making blood red?
the antibodies from the white blood cells
the iron in oxygenated blood
the iron in deoxygenated blood
Brief Explanations
Antibodies from white blood cells are for immune response, not color. Deoxygenated blood's iron - containing hemoglobin (deoxyhemoglobin) has a darker red/purple hue. Oxygenated blood has oxyhemoglobin, and the iron in it (as part of oxyhemoglobin) gives blood its bright red color.
