AB Oxygen  is  relatively  insoluble  in  aqueous  solutions  such  as  blood.  Dissolved  oxygen  alone  is  insufficient  to  meet  the  demands  of  tissue  metabolism.  Therefore,  an  alternate  means  of  transporting  oxygen  is  essential.  Oxygen  binds  reversibly  to  hemoglobin,  enabling  the  transport  of  large  amounts  of  oxygen—approximately  20  mL/100  mL  of  blood  at  a  hemoglobin  concentration  of  15  g/100  mL.
