Hemoglobin transports oxygen from areas of high oxygen concentration-like the lungs- to areas of low oxygen concentration-tissues that need oxygen. Human hemoglobin has four subunits- two beta and two alpha- and each subunit contains an iron molecule that is involved in binding oxygen. These subunits work together and bind oxygen cooperatively in a pretty interesting way. Here is a great explanation from NIH I you'd like to know more: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22596/

No, hemoglobin is a protein.
what is hemoglobin?
Hypochromia (as in hypochromic anemia) is the medical term meaning deficiency in hemoglobin.
No, hemoglobin is a protein.
Yes crocodiles do have a Hemoglobin.
Well, the high concentration of hemoglobin is what gives our blood its red color. More specifically, the porphyrin functional group in the hemoglobin structure is what gives hemoglobin (and oxy-hemoglobin) its red hue.DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT HEMOGLOBIN IS RED BECAUSE OF THE IRON IN THE CENTER OF ITS STRUCTURE. THEY WOULD BE LYING TO YOU.
Hemoglobin carries oxygen to the cells. Hemoglobin is contained in red blood cells.
hemoglobin is the cause thats why your blood is red
Heme + globin is Hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin is the oxygen carrier.
the respiratory pigment in humans is hemoglobin
