There are four atoms of iron in a molecule of hemoglobin. Each iron atom is attached to a porphyrin, forming a heme group. Each heme group is attached to a polypeptide chain.
There are two alpha and two beta polypeptides.
So a hemoglobin molecule has four heme groups, and four polypeptides.

Name the substance in red blood cells that combines with oxygen?
The protein "Hemoglobin" is responsible for the red color. Each hemoglobin molecule can bind up to 4 oxygen atoms. When fully loaded with oxygen atoms the protein takes on a more bright red color. When deprived of oxygen the protein takes on a darker red/blue color.
Which material does hemoglobin readily combine?
