Answer:

Hemoglobin, or Hb, is a protein molecule found in red blood cells (erythrocytes) made of four subunits: two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. Each subunit surrounds a central heme group that contains iron and binds one oxygen molecule, allowing each hemoglobin molecule to bind four oxygen molecules.

Answer:

1 Hemoglobin (Hb) : 4 Oxygen molecules

This means 1 hemoglobin molecule binds to 4 oxygen molecules

Explanation:

Hemoglobin, or Hb, is a protein atom found in red platelets (erythrocytes) made of four sub units: two alpha sub units and two beta sub units. Every sub unit encompasses a focal heme bunch that contains iron and ties one oxygen particle, permitting every hemoglobin atom to tie four oxygen particles.

Hope this helps....
