Blood is red because it is made up of cells that are red, which are called red blood cells. But, to understand why these cells are red you have to study them on a molecular level. Within the red blood cells there is a protein called hemoglobin. Each hemoglobin protein is made up subunits called hemes, which are what give blood its red color. More specifically, the hemes can bind iron molecules, and these iron molecules bind oxygen. The blood cells are red because of the interaction between iron and oxygen. (Even more specifically, it looks red because of how the chemical bonds between the iron and the oxygen reflect light.) And it's very important for blood to be able to carry oxygen because when blood flows through the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen, and the blood carries this oxygen to the rest of the body until the oxygen is all used up -- the blood then returns to the lungs to get more oxygen.

The color of blood is red this is because of the constituents of the blood.
Explanation:
- The color of blood is red is because of the red blood cells.
- The red blood cells consists of hemoglobin molecules. The hemoglobin molecules consists of iron molecules or heme group or the protein sub-units.
- The heme group in the blood reacts with the oxygen and results in red color of the blood.
- Hemoglobin transports oxygen to all the organs, tissues and cells of the body.
