Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is Haemoglobin? Haemoglobin Meaning. Haemoglobin (Hb) is a type of globular protein present in red blood cells (RBCs), which transports oxygen in our body through blood. It is a tetrameric protein and contains the heme prosthetic group attached to each subunit.

Detailed explanation-2: -Haemoglobin (also spelled Hemoglobin and abbreviated Hb or Hgb) is a respiratory pigment, which transports oxygen essential for cellular metabolism. In its quarternary structure is a globular protein, its chains are closely coiled together to form a compact, almost spherical molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemoglobin is the protein responsible for carrying oxygen in the blood. It is made up of four polypeptides: two and two subunits. One and one subunit come together to form a heterodimer, and two of these heterodimers interact to form one hemoglobin molecule.
