Hemoglobin, and the formula is C3032 H4316 O780 N780 S8 Fe4 Blood is complex in that it contains many different complex structures, including red blood cells (RBC or Erythrocyte), white blood cells (WBC or Leukocyte), platelets (Blastocytes), and plasma (made up of proteins, water, etc.). Unfortunately, the scientific name we use to identify this mixture is simply just blood. As for the original scratched out assumption, Hemoglobin is an oxygen carrying protein FOUND inside red blood cells. Hemoglobin is found in blood, not blood itself.
