The primary oxygen carrier or respiratory pigment in blood of frog and other vertebrates is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Haemoglobin
- Myoglobin is a heme protein, which binds to and acts as a store for oxygen in the muscle cells of vertebrates.
- Cytochromes are membrane-bound heme-proteins and are primarily responsible for the generation of ATP via electron transport chain. The cytochrome P450 oxidase family of cytochromes are primarily involved in steroidogenesis and detoxification.
- Haemoglobin is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of all vertebrates.
- Hemocyanin is blue copper-containing respiratory pigment in crustaceans and molluscs that have a similar function as haemoglobin.
So, the correct answer is option C.
