Haemoglobin content per 100 ml of blood in a normal healthy adult is

• A. 5 - 6 g
• B. 12 - 16 g
• C. 10 - 12 g
• D. 15 - 18 g

Answer 1

The correct option is B 12 - 16 g

Haemoglobin is the iron containing protein found in red blood cells. It delivers oxygen from lungs to other tissues of the body. A normal healthy individual has 12 - 16 g of haemoglobin per 100 ml of blood. Haemoglobin content lower than this level can cause anemia.
