Solution

17.Hemoglobin is the oxygen carring molecule of our body it is present inside RBC.

The ligand for hemoglobin is oxygen. the prosthetic group for hemoglobin is heme.

hemoglobin bind to its ligand oxygen in the lungs.. it contain heme. it has heterocyclic ring of porphyrin of an iron atom.
