The hemoglobin molecules in RBCs consist
of a protein called -globin-, composed of four polypeptide chains,
plus four groups called -hemes- (Figure 14.3b). Each heme group
is bound to one polypeptide chain and contains an iron ion that
can combine with one oxygen molecule. The hemes bind the
oxygen molecules picked up in the lungs and transport them in
the blood. The hemes release oxygen, which difuses into the in-
terstitial fluid and then into cells. Because RBCs lack mitochon-
dria, they generate ATP anaerobically (without using oxygen)
and do not consume any of the oxygen they transport.

There was but one, in a white shimmering gown, she was a vision to the blind, water to the thirsty, LIFE to the dying. The evil around seemed as if it was recoiling in terror of the noble purity
She is the final arbitrator of truth, the final voice of justice..She is the Mother Confessor. Once touched by her magic, you are no longer the person you were.
You are changed forever. Forevermore, you are devoted to her, to the exclusion of all else. What you wanted, what you were, who you were no longer means anything. You would do anything for her.
Your life is no longer yours, it is hers. Queens bow to the mother confessor, men fear her, women hate her for the powers she possesses. It is a lonely life she was born to.
The good need never fear her, evil will never find safety from her wrath. She stands tall amidst the chaos, the blood of war, with tears of grief flowing downa stunning face of lost innocence.
She rages the battle of good versus evil. And though the war is never won, she will fight til the end of days so all might be free.
