after one oxygen molecule binds to hemoglobin, it is easier for the other molecules to bind to the hemoglobin. this is known as cooperative binding.

What is a protein that binds with oxygen molecules?
Hemoglobin binds with oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule.
What portion of hemoglobin molecule binds oxygen?
Hemoglobin contains a heme group with an Iron ion attached to it. The iron is what binds to O2.
What does Each hemoglobin molecule contains an atom of iron that binds reversibly with?
oxygen
What is the name of the thing in our blood that transport oxygen?
Red blood cells are packed full of a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin has a molecule of iron in each protein molecule. This hemoglobin is what carries oxygen. The oxygen binds with the iron.
How is oxygen transferred to the cell?
Oxygen is transferred to the cells by our red blood cells which have a special molecule called hemoglobin inside. The hemoglobin molecule binds to the oxygen molecule and the reb blood cells transports the oxygen to wherever it is needed.
How is transported oxygen by blood in animals?
Oxygen binds to a molecule called hemoglobin in red blood cells.
What molecule binds oxygen?
The molecule that bind oxygen in the blood stream is hemoglobin. The O2 attaches to the molecule allowing it to be carried around the body to the other cells.
Oxygen binds with hemoglobin in the blood to form?
oxygen binds with hemoglobin in the lungs and forms oxyhemoglobin.
How does oxygen circulate in the body?
Oxygen circulates through the body in blood. A molecule of oxygen (O2) from the lungs binds loosely to a molecule of hemoglobin in a red blood cell. The red blood cell travels through the capillaries and the oxygen molecule is released from the hemoglobin and is delivered to the cells.

What component of blood contains iron that binds with oxygen?
Red blood cells contain the substance haemoglobin, which is an iron-based molecule that binds to oxygen molecules for transport around the body.
Why is it easier for the fourth oxygen molecule to bind to hemoglobin?
It is not the fourth one specifically that binds easier, O2 is a positive allosteric effector (activator) of Haemoglobin and the binding of O2 facilitates further binding of O2. I'm not sure why this is though.
