Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The hemoglobin molecule has four binding sites for oxygen molecules: the iron atoms in the four heme groups. Thus, each Hb tetramer can bind four oxygen molecules. From the molecular weight of Hb, one can calculate that 1 g of Hb can combine with 1.39 ml of oxygen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells. It contains iron, which allows it to transport oxygen. Each hemoglobin molecule can bind up to four oxygen molecules. This way, it can transport the oxygen from the lungs to the tissues that need it.
