Haemoglobin is a large…that carries oxygen around the body
Protein
Haemoglobin is made up of 4 polypeptide chains, each with an…. ion in its centre
Iron
What part of Haemoglobin binds to oxygen
Iron ion
(There are 4 iron ions per Haemoglobin as each Haemoglobin is made up of 4 polypeptide chains and each polypeptide chain has an iron ion in its centre)

Phosphate ions
The more H+ ions that are present (higher concentration), the… the PH
Lower
(Which makes the environment more acidic)
