Home/Taiwanese Mandarin/All pairs/血紅素 vs 血红蛋白
hemoglobin · Different wording
Different wording The two terms share 血红 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 血紅素; on the Mainland it is 血红蛋白 - both point at “hemoglobin”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 血紅素、血紅蛋白 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
