Relationship between amount of haemoglobin and ATP released

  • Haemoglobin in the blood transports oxygen from the lungs to body cells.

  • Oxygen is essential for aerobic respiration, during which food (glucose) is completely broken down to release ATP (energy).

Therefore:

  • More haemoglobin → more oxygen transported → higher rate of aerobic respiration → more ATP released.

  • Less haemoglobin → less oxygen supply → reduced aerobic respiration → less ATP released (may lead to fatigue).
