Detailed explanation-1: -Hemoglobin, in the normal adult, is a protein whose main function is to transport oxygen from the lungs to tissues and to transport carbon dioxide from tissues to the lung. The hemoglobin molecule contains four separate folded peptide chains, which form a hydrophobic or water ‘repelling’ pocket around a heme group.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hemoglobin contains iron, which allows it to pick up oxygen from the air we breathe and deliver it everywhere in the body. You can think of hemoglobin as the iron ("heme"), oxygen transport protein, ("globin") found in red blood cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells. It contains iron, which allows it to transport oxygen. Each hemoglobin molecule can bind up to four oxygen molecules. This way, it can transport the oxygen from the lungs to the tissues that need it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hemoglobin is a complex protein which has a quaternary structure and contains iron. There are four subunits in the hemoglobin molecule-two alpha subunits and two beta subunits.
