The red-pigmented protein in erythrocytes that transports oxygen and carbon dioxide is called hemoglobin.

Explanation:

  • Hemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells (erythrocytes) that is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and returning carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs to be exhaled.
  • It is red-pigmented due to the presence of iron in its heme groups, which binds to oxygen and gives blood its characteristic red color.
