A construction worker has been brought to the emergency room, after an accident in which his leg was crushed by falling beams. A urine sample is noticeably reddish brown. Assuming that color is related to the accident, what molecule could have been released from the damaged muscle cells that colored the urine? What is the function of this molecule?

The molecule is likely to be the pigment myoglobin. This molecule binds to oxygen in muscle cells, to supplement the oxygen supplied by the blood.
