Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Conjugated proteins are the proteins which are formed by the binding of a simple protein with a non-protein prosthetic group. Conjugated chromoproteins are the pigment protein complexes. Haemoglobin is one such conjugated chromoprotein. It is composed of a simple protein called "globin" and non protein iron (Fe2+) porphyrin complex called "heme" 100 ml of blood contains about 159 of haemoglobin. Four Fe2+ ions of heme can loosely bound to upto four molecules of oxygen thus enabling haemoglobin to carry oxygen.So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'
