Question

If I sliced open a lobster right now, what color of blood would you see? blue, green, yellow, red

a) Blue
b) Green
c) Yellow
d) Red

Answer 1

Lobsters have blue blood.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you sliced open a lobster, you would see blue blood. Lobsters have copper-based blood, which contains a protein called hemocyanin. Hemocyanin binds with oxygen and gives the blood a blue color. This is different from the iron-based hemoglobin in human blood, which gives it a red color.
