HARUN YAHYA





                   Is He Who creates like him who does not create?
                   So will you not pay heed? (Qur'an, 16: 17)







                   Myoglobin, assigned the duty of transporting oxygen to the muscles, has
                   the capacity to carry one oxygen molecule. But hemoglobin, which trans-
                   ports oxygen to other tissues, has a higher oxygen-carrying capacity. In
                   this way, each kind of tissue receives just the needed amount of oxygen.

                  Myoglobin, which               Hemoglobin in
                  carries oxygen to              blood vessels that
                  muscle cells only              transports oxygen
                                                 to cells
