Answer: Answer below, hope this helps! :D

Step-by-step explanation:

A conjugated protein is a protein that functions in interaction with other (non-polypeptide) chemical groups attached by covalent bonding or weak interactions. ... The non-amino part of a conjugated protein is usually called its prosthetic group. Most prosthetic groups are formed from vitamins. Hemoglobin is a protein having a globular structure. Based on its structural properties, hemoglobin can be divided into two parts; a protein part and a heme group. The structure of the protein part can be studied at four levels; primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure, and quaternary structure.
