Explanation:

The quaternary structure of hemoglobin consists of four peptide sub- units. TWo of the subunits are identical and are called the alpha subunits. The remaining two subunits, called the beta subunits, are identical to each other but different from the alpha subunits.

Answer:

because hemoglobin has 4 protein cchain subunits

Explanation:

  • There are four components in human haemoglobin.
  • Two of these are exact duplicates of one another. As a result, the human haemoglobin (Hb) molecule is made up of two subunits of one kind and two subunits of another type.
  • Haemoglobin is a protein with a Quaternary structure, which can be seen in proteins with more than one polypeptide chain.
  • Heterogeneous Quaternary change occurs when the units are dissimilar. It is made up of two subunits, two alpha and two beta, just like haemoglobin.
  • They're all mixed together, along with the oxygen-carrying iron molecule. Four oxygen molecules are carried by one haemoglobin molecule.
