Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Hemoglobin is the oxygen-carrying protein that is found within all RBCs. It picks up oxygen where it is abundant (the lungs) and drops off oxygen where it is needed around the body. Hemoglobin is also the pigment that gives RBCs their red color.
Detailed explanation-2: -Red blood cells contain hemoglobin and are covered with a membrane composed of proteins and lipids. Hemoglobin-an iron-rich protein that gives blood its red color-enables red blood cells to transport oxygen and carbon dioxide. Red blood cells do not have nuclei, allowing for more room for hemoglobin.
