hemoglobin

Hemoglobin (also spelle haemoglobin and abbreviated Hb or Hgb) is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of vertebrates. In mammals, the protein makes up about 97% of the red cell’s dry content, and around 35% of the total content (including water). Hemoglobin transports oxygen from the lungs or gills to the rest of the body, such as to the muscles, where it releases the oxygen for cell use. It also has a variety of other roles of gas transport and effect-modulation which vary from species to species, and are quite diverse in some invertebrates.

Trivia about hemoglobin

In a single red blood cell, there are more than 300 million molecules of this iron-rich pigment
As most insects don't need to transport oxygen in their blood, they lack this protein that makes blood red
It's the pigment that makes red blood cells red
This pigment in blood transports oxygen
A substance called "heme" is the most "ironic" portion of this blood pigment
Liver cells break this red blood cell pigment into substances including iron & bilirubin
Not to be confused with a hobgoblin, this is the pigment that gives blood its red color
About 70% of the iron we absorb ends up in this protein in red blood cells
Hemolysis is the release of this protein pigment from blood cells
Anemia can be caused by red blood cells that are deficient in this pigment
A component of the blood:Hb
It's the oxygen-carrying pigment in red blood cells
A healthy red blood cell in your body has about 300 mil. of these oxygen-carrying molecules
(Lisa Trotter reports from Antarctica.) Frigid Antarctic water is full of dissolved oxygen; it circulates through ice fish so they don't need this oxygen-carrying pigment, making them nearly colorless
About 65% of iron in humans is in the form of this, which transports molecular oxygen from the lungs through the body
When Watson met Holmes in a lab, Holmes explained his test for this pigment--it could have decided several cases
Transporting this protein is the main job of your body's erythrocytes
