Iron makes up part of the haemoglobin molecule which is oxidised in the lungs when it is exposed to air. Iron turns red when it oxidises (rusts) that's why blood in most arteries away from your lungs is red, and blue on it's return. Oxygen is used in chemical reactions in your mitochondria in your cells that produce energy to run your body.
