The respiratory pigment, which has much higher affinity to combine with oxygen, is:
- A
Myoglobin
- B
Haemoglobin
- C
Globin
- D
Hemocyanin
Explanation:
The respiratory pigment, which has much higher affinity to combine with oxygen is Myoglobin.
The respiratory pigment, which has much higher affinity to combine with oxygen is Myoglobin, not Haemoglobin.
This option is not correct because globin is a protein that makes up a part of haemoglobin.
This option is also incorrect because hemocyanin is a respiratory pigment found in some invertebrates that uses copper rather than iron to bind to oxygen.
