If human blood is red because of all iron in it, why is it that magnets do nothing at all to us?
In: Biology
Iron isn’t red, is it? At least, not the kind that magnets stick to. It’s that shiny metallic stuff. So, why is it red in our blood?
It has undergone a transition into an ionized state, and is bound into molecules. The iron in our blood has the same number of protons as metallic iron, but is ‘in a completely different situation’ and does not interact with magnets in the same way.
As a sidenote, magnets actually *do* interact with humans. They very weakly repel us.
