Question
Chapter 19.4, Problem 17AYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The two basic parts of the hemoglobin molecule and the part associated with iron and the transport of gases.
Introduction:
Hemoglobin is the protein that functions to transport oxygen; hemoglobin is a metalloprotein present in the red blood cells. It carries oxygen from the lungs or gills to the rest of the body.
