An unstable type of hemoglobin that cannot bind with oxygen is termed:
A) Deoxyhemoglobin
B) Oxyhemoglobin
C) Methemoglobin
D) Glycosylated hemoglobin

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Without reactivation,the Fe³⁺-containing hemoglobin (methemoglobin)cannot bind oxygen. Deoxyhemoglobin is reactivated hemoglobin whose oxygen has been released. Binding of oxygen to ferrous iron temporally oxidizes Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ as in oxyhemoglobin. Glycosylated hemoglobin is glucose bound to hemoglobin.
