Solution

The correct option is C Myoglobin
  • Muscle is a bundle of fibrous tissue in a body that has the ability to contract, producing movement in or maintaining the position of parts of the body.
  • Muscles appear in red colour due to a pigment called myoglobin. It receives oxygen from the red blood cells and transports it to the mitochondria of muscle cells, where the oxygen is used in cellular respiration to produce energy. Hence they are also called aerobic muscles.
  • Hence the flight muscles in an eagle have more of aerobic muscles. These muscles are also called red muscles because they are rich in myoglobin.
  • So,the correct answer is 'Myoglobin'.
