Hb has four peptide in total, 2-2 each of alpha and beta chain,
each of the four chain has heme group bind to it which carry iron moiety , now in total 4 iron moiety, ecah of which can bind one O2 molecule , thus answer is 4,
if talking about atoms it would be 4*2 =8 atoms ....

How many molecules of oxygen bind to one molecule of hemoglobin?
Haemoglobin combines with four molecules of oxygen.
How many oxygen atoms a saturated hemoglobin can carry?
It can carry a maximum of 4 Oxygen molecules (1 O2 per Heme group). 1 O2 molecule is made up of 2 oxygen atoms. 4 molecules x 2 atoms = 8 atoms of oxygen per saturated haemoglobin
How many molecules of hemoglobin in one red blood cell?
250 million X 4 = < 1 billion4- is how many o2 molecules a single HBn carries assuming they are full saturated(which they almost never are)Actually, one hemoglobin molecule can carry 4 molecules of oxygen. There are ~1 billion molecules of oxygen in each RED BLOOD CELL.
How many oxygen molecules can each Red Blood Cell carry?
Each RBC can carry up to 4 oxygen molecules.
Do red blood cells carry oxygen to the body?
Red blood cells transport oxygen, white blood cells defend against disease, ... This way remaining red blood cells can still oxygenate body tissue. .... true that receiving a unit of transfused bloodin the US does not carry many risks, ...
A molecule of hemoglobin can hold how many molecules of oxygen in the blood transport?
Four heme groups, so I think four molecules of oxygen can be transported by one molecule of haemoglobin.
How many oxygen molecules bind to myoglobin?
1 Each myoglobin molecule has one heme group and can bind one oxygen molecule. Hemoglobin on the other hand can bind up to 4 molecules of oxygen.
What molecules does hemoglobin carry through blood?
Many, but the most common is oxygen, which creates oxyhemoglobin. The reason for this is that oxygen binds to iron, (heme=iron in latin) which creates the new ion, oxyhemoglobin. Other molecules that I can think of, at this moment, would be carbon dioxide and some other molecule with a combination of carbon,oxygen,and hydrogen. It might be glucose, but I can't think of it at the moment.
How many heme groups are contained in one molecule of hemoglobin?
There are four hemes. So, theoretically, up to 4 oxygen molecules can bond to a single hemoglobin. However, in practice, this seldom occurs.(usually fewer)
How many hemoglobin in 1 erythrocytes in animal cells?
One RBC contains about 250 million Hemoglobin molecules
What is the medical term meaning Pathologic condition in which the blood 's ability to carry oxygen is reduced due to a shortage of normal hemoglobin or too few red blood cells?
Anemia is the medical term meaning the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen due to inadequate hemoglobin or red blood cells. Anemia has many different causes, but iron deficiency is a common one.
What is a blood disorder of the red blood cells in which tissues can't get enough oxygen?
There are many health issues that can decrease your SpO2%, or blood oxygen level. Anemia: Low hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in the red blood cells lead to less oxygen-carrying molecules, which reduces O2 levels Lung disorders: COPD, emphysema, and many other lung disorders can stop the adequate flow of oxygen to the rest of the body. Infection: Infections, especially of the lungs/respiratory system, can dramatically reduce your ability to ventilate enough oxygen to your bloodstream Circulation problems: Inadequate cardiac output can slow the transportation of oxygen to your body Metabolic problems: Less frequently, but more seriously, acid-base imbalances in the bloodstream can cause hemoglobin dissociation, leading to less available hemoglobin molecules being available to carry oxygen in the blood. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but the most common clinical manifestations that accompany reduced blood oxygen levels.
