Hemerythrin and hemocyanin are: A)human mutant hemoglobins with decreased oxygen affinity. B)hemoglobin variants that are found in animals at high altitude. C)synthetic derivatives of hemoglobin's heme group used in artificial blood substitutes. D)oxygen transport proteins found in invertebrates. E)tetrameric hemoglobin derivatives containing only $\alpha$-chains ($\alpha$₄ tetramers).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemerythrin and hemocyanin are oxygen transport proteins found in invertebrates. Hemerythrin is found in some marine invertebrates, while hemocyanin is found in arthropods and mollusks. Both proteins contain copper atoms, which bind and transport oxygen.
