The ion that is part of hemoglobin is iron (Fe). Specifically, it is found in the heme group, which is a critical component of hemoglobin, allowing it to bind and transport oxygen in the blood. Each hemoglobin molecule contains four heme groups, each with one iron ion that can bind to one oxygen molecule.
