Title: What iron based molecule do erythrocytes have that allow red blood cells to carry O2? Post by: finksta on Dec 14, 2012 To effectively combine with oxygen, the erythrocytes must contain a normal amount of the red protein pigment hemoglobin, the amount of which in turn depends on the iron level in the body. A deficiency of iron and therefore of hemoglobin leads to anemia and poor oxygenation of the body tissues.
