Question

What would be the consequences of a deficiency of hemoglobin in our bodies?

Answer 1

Consequences of a deficiency of hemoglobin:

1. Hemoglobin is a pigment that is helpful in supplying oxygen in all the parts of the body through blood.
2. It is present in the red blood cells and acts as a carrier of oxygen.
3. The deficiency of hemoglobin makes an individual anemic which means fewer red blood cells.
4. The deficiency of hemoglobin will decrease the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
5. A decrease in hemoglobin in blood will lead to slow functioning of body parts and weakness due to the less supply of oxygen.
