Why is our blood red?
Hey! Do you know why is our blood red? Keep reading...
Our blood mainly consists of a liquid called plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. However, the color of our blood is basically because of red blood cells. Each of the red blood cells contains hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is an iron rich protein. When hemoglobin binds with oxygen, the interaction between them gives our blood its red color.
Moreover, like human beings, not all animals have red color blood. This is because the blood of some animals such as octopuses, spiders, etc. has hemocyanin instead of hemoglobin. Hemocyanin is a copper containing protein. When hemocyanin binds with oxygen, their interaction gives the blood a blue color. The blood of some lizards has biliverdin instead of hemoglobin which give their blood a green color.
Posts before October 2021 have been marked as "Old Posts". Less likely, but they might have out dated or incorrect information, ugly looking bits of code, no labels, etc. Don't get me wrong, many of these posts are top-notch and interesting too.
I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
