Respiratory pigments like haemoglobin, myoglobin have affinity for oxygen. Haemoglobin functions as oxygen carrier and myoglobin serves to store oxygen in muscles. Cytochromes are inner mitochondrial membrane-bound heme proteins containing heme groups and are primarily responsible for the generation of ATP via electron transport. They participate in redox reactions and have affinity for oxygen.
