Which protein is responsible for the transport of oxygen in blood?
- A. collagen
- B. haemoglobin
- C. insulin
- D. keratin
Explanation
Haemoglobin is a globular conjugated protein of four chains, each holding an iron containing haem group that binds one oxygen molecule reversibly. Collagen and keratin are fibrous structural proteins and insulin is a hormone. The variety of these roles is why protein is described as the most versatile class of biological molecule.
