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.

Think about a petal plucked from its flower. When the petal is removed from the flower, will it remain alive according to
schepotkina [342]

When a petal is plucked from a flower, it will not remain alive for very long. It will soon start to decompose.

Explanation:

To understand this, we need to go back to the act of plucking the flower as such from the plant. The moment a flower is plucked from a plant, it stops receiving any further nutrition from the plant. Whatever nutrients were present in the flower at the time of plucking it will continue to keep it alive and once those nutrients are used up, the flower will start to decompose.

In this case, since the petal is plucked from a flower which already was surviving on limited nutrients, it will decompose very quickly.

According to the characteristics of life, it cannot be considered dead at the time it's plucked. It <u>continues to live, but for a very brief time</u>.
