Each hemoglobin contains four iron-containing heme groups and four polypeptide chains. Four oxygen molecules can bind each Hb molecule.

True, four hemoglobin chains will contain one heme group, which will bind exactly one oxygen molecule. Since hemoglobin contains four globin chains with four heme groups, four oxygen molecules can bind to one hemoglobin molecule.

<h3>What is hemoglobin ?</h3>

Blood-carrying protein hemoglobin (haemoglobin BrE) is derived from the Greek word haîma and the Latin term globus. (/hi-m-lo-bn, h-mo-/ abbreviated Hb or Hgb, is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein found in the tissues of some invertebrates as well as the red blood cells (erythrocytes) of practically all vertebrates (with the exception of the fish family Channichthyidae). The blood's hemoglobin transports oxygen from the respiratory system, including the lungs and gills, to the rest of the body (i.e. tissues). There, the oxygen is released, allowing aerobic respiration to take place and produce energy for an organism's metabolic processes. Every 100 mL of blood in a healthy person has 12 to 20 grams of hemoglobin.

Hello good afternoon what is mitochondria​
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

A mitochondrion is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms. Mitochondria generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate, used as a source of chemical energy. They were first discovered by Albert von Kölliker in 1880 in the voluntary muscles of insects.
