Answer:

Haemoglobin is a protein present in red blood cells, responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to cells in the body. Haemoglobin gives red blood cells their distinctive colour. Haemoglobin levels differ between individuals, but men usually have higher haemoglobin levels than women.
