Red blood cells have no nucleus, making more room to carry oxygen-binding haemoglobin.
To solve this problem, we need to determine how much oxygen is delivered to tissues by 100 ml of oxygenated blood under normal physiological conditions.Oxygen is primarily transported in the blood bound to hemoglobin within red blood cells.Each gram of hemoglobin can bind approximately 1.34 ml of Oā.The average hemoglobin concentration in blood is about 15 g/dl (grams per deciliter).Therefore, the total oxygen-carrying capacity of blood is approximately: - g/dlml Oā/gml Oā/dlHowever, not all of this oxygen is delivered to the tissues. Under normal conditions, about 25\% of the oxygen bound to hemoglobin is released to the tissues.Thus, the amount of oxygen delivered to the tissues is: - ml Oā/dlml Oā/dlThis means that approximately 5 ml of Oā is delivered to the tissues per 100 ml of oxygenated blood.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2: 5 ml.
