Explain how inhaling carbon monoxide can cause death
What will be an ideal response?
Oxygen normally combines with hemoglobin, which transports the oxygen throughout the body. However, carbon monoxide in the bloodstream also combines with hemoglobin, reducing the amount of hemoglobin left to carry oxygen. If enough hemoglobin combines with carbon monoxide, not enough is left to carry sufficient oxygen to the tissues, and death by asphyxiation follows.
