Each iron atom can bind to one oxygen atom. So the whole hemoglobin molecule can carry four oxygens. When the first oxygen atom binds to the first iron atom a conformational change occurs in the shape of the hemoglobin causing the other heme groups to become oxygenated more easily. Making the ability for hemoglobin to bind more oxygen more easily. This is called cooperative binding.

It contains hydrophobic amino acid in the inside and hydrophilic on the outside 
Hemoglobin is found in all red blood cells.
