They have different structure types. Hemoglobin is a globular protein, where it has a globular shape from the folding of amino acids by the hydrophobic effect. alpha-Keratin (the protein in hair), on the other hand, has a helical structure, with a repeating pattern of amino acids. Hemoglobin does not have a continuous repeating pattern of amino acids.

Why is it significant that keratin and collagen are fibrous proteins and myoglobin and hemoglobin are globular proteins?

Keratin and collagen are fibrous proteins, providing structural support and strength to tissues like hair and skin. Myoglobin and hemoglobin are globular proteins, designed for carrying and binding molecules like oxygen in the blood. The difference in their structures reflects their specific functions in the body.

How are hemoglobin and hair are both proteins yet they have different structures?

Hemoglobin and hair are both proteins, but they differ in structure due to their distinct functions and the types of amino acid sequences they contain. Hemoglobin is a globular protein, composed of four subunits that enable it to transport oxygen in the blood. In contrast, hair is primarily made of keratin, a fibrous protein that forms long, stable chains, providing strength and structure. These variations in amino acid composition and arrangement lead to their unique three-dimensional shapes and properties.
