"Hemoglobin is an extremely important molecule to the life processes of animals. Hemoglobin functions to transfer oxygen from the lunge to the individual cells of the body, allowing respiration to occur, and providing the oxygen necessary for life functions. Hemoglobin comes in many different forms and each change in structure effects the overall function of hemoglobin.
