Question

Name the pigment present in RBCs.

Answer 1

Red Blood Cells (RBCs):

• The cells present in the blood circulation that deliver the oxygen molecule to different body parts are known as red blood cells.
• The color of the RBCs is red due to the presence of a pigment. This pigment is known as hemoglobin.
• The hemoglobin also helps in oxygen delivery by attaching its heme group with the oxygen molecule.

Therefore, the pigment present in the red blood cells is hemoglobin.
