Best Answer

Hemoglobin is a molecule which is consist of 4 HEM groups and a protein named globin. Major duity of hemoglobin is to transfer CO2 and O2 between the tissues and the blood, but those are not the only molecules that can bind to hemoglobin. CO and some other molecules can too and when that happens O2 saturation may go severely down.
