Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -RBCs contain hemoglobin (pronounced: HEE-muh-glow-bin), a protein that carries oxygen. Blood gets its bright red color when hemoglobin picks up oxygen in the lungs. As the blood travels through the body, the hemoglobin releases oxygen to the different body parts. Each RBC lives for about 4 months.
Detailed explanation-3: -Haemoglobin is the red coloured pigment in Red Blood Cells. This pigment carries oxygen from lungs to cells and carries carbon dioxide from cells to lungs.
