how much oxygen is present in one gram of haemoglobin?

1. 20 ml
2. 1.34 ml
3. 40 ml
4. 13.4 ml

Haemoglobin has an oxygen-binding capacity of 1.34 mL O2per gram of haemoglobin,which increases the totalblood oxygen capacityseventy-fold compared to dissolved oxygen in blood. The mammalian haemoglobin molecule can bind (carry) up to four oxygen molecules.
