One red blood cell contains approximately
250 million hemoglobin molecules
and each hemoglobin can bind four molecules
of oxygen .......

During each circuit of the body, a single
red blood cell carries approximately one billion
molecules of oxygen.

Some bacterial cells can copy their strands of DNA
at a rate of 500 nucleotides......
per second.

A typical neuron can transmit a nerve impulse as a
self-propagating wave of depolarization
and then repolarize and transmit again--
up to 1000 times per second!
