What is the role of hemoglobin in oxygen transportation?

Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen by binding oxygen molecules in the lungs and releasing them to body tissues. It does not create oxygen, and oxygen is carried bound to hemoglobin rather than simply dissolving in it. Therefore, the correct choice is D, “Oxygen binds with hemoglobin.”
