Answer 2

Explanation:

• Myoglobin is the protein which binds to oxygen. Myoglobin is “low molecular weight” protein of 16000 Da.
• It contains “one heme” (prosthetic group) molecule and bind one molecule of oxygen per molecule of protein.
• It functions in complete form during heavy exercise, it stores oxygen used during the heavy exercise and improves diffusion process of cytosol by carrying oxygen.
• Myoglobin is found muscle tissue. They have more ‘affinity’ towards the oxygen.
