Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells. It carries oxygen. Red blood cells also remove carbon dioxide from your body, bringing it to the lungs for you to exhale.

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. It’s the hemoglobin that gives red blood cells their color, too.

Detailed explanation-3: -Haemoglobin molecules inside red blood cells pick up and carry the oxygen. These oxygen-rich cells travel in the blood vessels from the lungs to the left side of the heart. The blood is then pumped around the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hemoglobin is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood from the lungs to the tissues. Myoglobin, in muscle cells, accepts, stores, transports and releases oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -What Is the Function of Red Blood Cells? Red blood cells carry oxygen from our lungs to the rest of our bodies.
