Answer:
Hemoglobin is a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen to your body's organs and tissues and transports carbon dioxide from your organs and tissues back to your lungs. If a hemoglobin test reveals that your hemoglobin level is lower than normal, it means you have a low red blood cell count

- Hemoglobin, often known as hemoglobin, is an iron-containing protein present in the blood of many animals, notably in the red blood cells (erythrocytes) of vertebrates, that transports oxygen to the tissues.
- Hemoglobin forms a reversible, unstable interaction with oxygen. When it's oxygenated and bright red, it's called oxyhemoglobin.
- When it's deoxygenated, it's a purple blue colour.
- Red blood cell-forming cells in the bone marrow create hemoglobin.
- Hemoglobin is broken down as red blood cells die.
- Transferrin proteins deliver iron to the bone marrow, where it is needed in the formation of new red blood cells.
- The remaining hemoglobin is converted to bilirubin, a substance secreted in the bile that gives the faces their yellow-brown colour.
