The number of hemoglobin molecules in a red blood cell is approximated to be somewhere between 250 million to 270 million.
each hemoglobin molecule contains 4 heme groups which can each bind to one molecule of O2
(250 x 10 ^6)(4) = 1 x 10 ^9 = 1,000,000,000
(270 x 10 ^6)(4) = 1.08 x 10 ^9 = 1,080,000,000

What compound of oxygen explains why there is so much oxygen in your bodies?
Hemoglobin is the compound in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. It binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to tissues and organs where it is needed for energy production.
Why exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal?
Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells more readily than oxygen, reducing the blood's ability to carry oxygen to vital organs. This can lead to oxygen deprivation in the body's tissues, causing cell damage and potentially leading to death. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can include headache, dizziness, difficulty breathing, and loss of consciousness.
How does oxygen enter your body?
