why the coulor of insect's blood is white?

Answer 1

The color of blood depends on the metal radical used in the oxygen-binding radical. In vertebrates (mammals, fish, birds, reptiles) it's iron, so our blood is red like iron oxide (rust). Most insects use copper, making the blood green like copper patina. Some octopus species use Cobalt, making their blood blue.

If it appears white my guess is that the blood became mixed up with other body fluids when you smashed it. Try to kill it more gently next time.

Answer 2

Blood is present even in insects but the colour of their blood is not red, its white. In insects, the oxygen is directly absorbed and transported to all the cells in the body. They do not have haemoglobin. Thus, due to the lack of hemoglobin in their blood, their blood is white..

Answer 3

in the circulatory system of insects,during respiration blood does not combine with the oxygen because both have specific channels for their movements and if the never combine the blood remains white and it is known as homocoel

Answer 4

insects dosenot have hemoglobin which is required for cattying oxygen . where in insect oxygen is carrie throug trachea which distributed all over body of the insect ,&transport oxygen directally to cells whithout any chemical change.

Answer 5

Usually it is green. They do not have the same way of carrying oxygen as we do. The compound,not hemoglobin, makes a green compound with oxygen.

Answer 6

due to lack of red blood cells

Answer 7

There is no haemoglobin in the blood.

Answer 8

because they have more white blood cells.
