Within every red blood cell are thousands of molecules of hemoglobin which carry oxygen within the red blood cell. At the center of every hemoglobin molecule is an iron atom. Oxidation occurs when iron is exposed to oxygen. This is familiar to us in another form as rust, which is also red. So the redness of red blood cells occurs as a result of the chemical reaction between the iron of hemoglobin and the oxygen it carries.
