95% of the cytoplasm of red blood cells is the___________?
Correct answer: B. Hemoglobin
- A. Antibodies
- B. Hemoglobin
- C. Enzymes
- D. Proteins
Explanation
Haemoglobin makes up most of the dry protein content of a red blood cell and occupies much of its cytoplasm, allowing the cell to transport oxygen. Antibodies and enzymes are present in much smaller amounts and are not the main cytoplasmic component. Students may choose proteins because haemoglobin is a protein, but the question asks for the specific protein that predominates, namely haemoglobin.

About Blood Vessels
Blood vessels include arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and veins, whose wall thickness, elasticity, lumen size and valves suit their roles in circulation. Questions compare pressure and blood flow in each vessel and distinguish pulmonary vessels, which carry blood to and from the lungs, from systemic vessels.
