Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells that binds to oxygen and transports it from the lungs to the body's tissues. This essential molecule also plays a role in transporting carbon dioxide back from the tissues to the lungs for exhalation. Its ability to change shape and affinity for oxygen based on conditions in the body is crucial for effective respiration and maintaining oxygen levels in the blood.
