Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the function of the protein in question: The problem asks for a protein responsible for oxygen transport in red blood cells.
Understand the role of iron in this context: Iron is a key component in the protein that facilitates the binding and release of oxygen.
Review the options provided: Myoglobin, Fibrinogen, Albumin, and Hemoglobin.
Recall the specific function of each protein: Myoglobin stores oxygen in muscle cells, Fibrinogen is involved in blood clotting, Albumin maintains osmotic pressure and transports substances in the blood, and Hemoglobin is responsible for oxygen transport in red blood cells.
Conclude that Hemoglobin is the protein that contains iron and is responsible for oxygen transport in red blood cells.
