Chapter 26, Problem 26.92EP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To determine the fate of the iron (Fe2+) produced from the breakdown of hemoglobin.

Concept introduction: In the body, red blood cells deliver oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the body tissues. Mature red blood cells have hemoglobin which is responsible for the oxygen carrying ability of the red blood cells.

Hemoglobin is a heme protein present in the red blood cells. The protein part is called globin and the non-protein part is heme. Heme is the prosthetic group that contains 4 pyrrole groups bonded together and has an iron atom in the center. The structure of the heme group is:
