Chapter 13 Disorders of Red Blood Cells BIO216 

No symptoms is certainly a good sign that it’s closer to the normal range. Did they say how low it was?

@@WyzSci It went below 5.

Thank you, Chloe! I don't have every chapter available in the BIO216 playlist but I have alot more in the BIO300 playlist.

I'm so sorry to hear about your son. I hope you get an answer about what is going on soon. Feel free to email me kyle.sorensen@colorado.edu

H2O can dissociate into -OH and H+ but not O2. You can get O2 from water with electrolysis but this isn’t a biologic process.

@@WyzSci thx for responding, right it's not a biological process outside the epidermis, where electrolysis is biological starting in the stomach diffusing and in respiratory. The chemical bonds inside the body in a different environment are different, for instance o2 is stripped from the carbon and is no longer o2, h2o is no longer h2o if the hydrogen is diffused then rediffused previous to reentry back into the atmosphere, the body may utilize carbon to collect free or rogue o2 inside the body. Maybe a bit of unorganized education can lead to someone organized better understanding

@@guytelfer1353 Theres no electrolysis that occurs in the body.

@@WyzSci what is diffusion? Electrolysis is diffusion of electrons molecules or both

@@guytelfer1353 We don’t have free electrons in the body. When we talked about voltage potential or current this is referring to a separation of charge from ions. Diffusion in the body is a tendency for atoms or molecules to move from an area of high to low concentration.

Four oxygen molecules per hemoglobin x 250 million molecules of hemoglobin in each RBC = 1 billion oxygen molecules

@@WyzSci thx for reply , difficult to comprehend a billion o2 molecules in 1 rbc considering the size of a rbc and how many rbc's there are, seems densely packed
