Nothing binds to hemoglobin instead of oxygen in the lungs in smokers. In the lungs oxygen is bound to hemoglobing for transport to organs and tissues while carbon-dioxide is release in the lungs for expiration.
You are probably thinking about the fact that smokers have lower oxygen uptake during inspiration than non-smokers.
1. Cigarettes fill your lungs with tare and makes them function at a lower quality than healthy lungs. It lowers the ammount of air you are able to inhale thus decreasing the ammount of oxygen.
2. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor thus blood flow is impaired to your whole body. In the opposite reaction when you work out and need more energy to e.g. specific muscles, the body dilates those vessels leading there to get more oxygen to that area.

What is a protein that binds with oxygen molecules?
Hemoglobin binds with oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule.
Oxygen binds with hemoglobin in the blood to form?
oxygen binds with hemoglobin in the lungs and forms oxyhemoglobin.
WHen hemoglobin binds its first oxygen molecule it is easier for other?
after one oxygen molecule binds to hemoglobin, it is easier for the other molecules to bind to the hemoglobin. this is known as cooperative binding.
When oxygen binds to hemoglobin this configuration of hemoglobin is termed what?
Oxy, relaxed
What part of blood binds oxygen?
Hemoglobin.
What are the two chemicals that bind with hemoglobin?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are the two chemicals that bind with hemoglobin in the blood. Oxygen binds to hemoglobin in the lungs for transport around the body, while carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin in the tissues for removal from the body.
What is important about iron?
It actively binds oxygen in hemoglobin.
Which molecule rries or binds oxygen?
The molecule that carries oxygen in the human body is hemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues throughout the body.
What part of the blood cell carries oxygen?
hemoglobin
When deoxyhemoglobin binds to oxygen it becomes oxidized hemoglobin?
False
What is an iron - containing protein that binds to oxygen molecules?
hemoglobin
Why hemoglobin does not take oxygen from environment?
Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and carries it throughout the body. It does not spontaneously take oxygen from the environment because it requires a specific process in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood and binds to hemoglobin. The binding and release of oxygen by hemoglobin are tightly regulated to ensure efficient transportation and delivery of oxygen to tissues.
