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.
