Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of hemoglobin: Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide back to the lungs.

Learn the terminology: Hemoglobin bound to oxygen is referred to as 'oxyhemoglobin,' while hemoglobin without oxygen is called 'deoxyhemoglobin.'

Differentiate the options: Carbaminohemoglobin refers to hemoglobin bound to carbon dioxide, and methemoglobin is a form of hemoglobin where the iron is oxidized and cannot bind oxygen effectively.

Focus on the correct term: Hemoglobin carrying oxygen atoms is specifically called 'oxyhemoglobin,' as it reflects the oxygen-binding state of the molecule.

Review the context: Ensure you understand why oxyhemoglobin is the correct term by considering the physiological process of oxygen transport in the blood.
