Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hemoglobin is made up of four protein chains that each bind an additional ring-shaped chemical structure called heme . Our red blood cells are red because of the heme groups in hemoglobin. In turn, our blood is red because of the millions of red blood cells that it contains.
