Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Hemoglobin and enzymes are examples of
A
primary proteins
B
globular proteins
C
fibrous proteins
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Haemoglobin and enzymes are examples of conjugated protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hemoglobin is an example of a globular protein. It consists of four polypeptide chains, each folded onto itself. Each chain is attached to a heme group–a ring-like structure with an iron atom at the center. It is at these iron atoms that oxygen molecules bind to hemoglobin.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common type of globular protein that is capable of binding a small molecule is an enzyme. Enzymes: Are Globular Proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Haemoglobin is a globular heme protein present in red blood cells of vertebrates and plasma of many invertebrates. Haemoglobin contains iron (heme). It helps in the transport of oxygen and other gases in the body.

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of globular proteins include haemoglobin, insulin and many enzymes in the body. The increased solubility of the proteins is all down to the folding of the protein.
