Answer 2

‘Haemoglobin’ is a type of carrier protein, which plays ‘indispensable part’ in respiration.  

Explanation:

• Hemoglobin is a carrier protein which carries gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide and even carbon monoxide.  

• Adult Hemoglobin contains two alpha chain and two beta chain. In case of fetal hemoglobin there are two alpha chain and two gamma chain.

• The oxygen binds with hemoglobin at the lungs. The hemoglobin releases the oxygen at the organ where oxygen concentration is low.  

• Similarly it then binds with carbon dioxide and releases it at the lungs.
