Question

3. What happens when the level of iron in the blood becomes low?
4. Why do people suffer from scurvy?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. When iron levels fall too low, it causes iron deficiency. When this happens, red blood cells become smaller than normal and contain less hemoglobin.
2. People who suffer from scurvy have low or lack of vitamin C in their daily meal or diet. This is because vitamin C is needed for making collagen, an important component in connective tissues.

Answer 2

Answer:

3: If iron levels fall too low, it causes iron deficiency anemia. When this happens, red blood cells become smaller than normal and contain less hemoglobin. Iron deficiency can occur in infants, adolescents and pregnant women because of the heavy demands for iron associated with rapid body growth.

4:Scurvy is caused by not having enough vitamin C in your diet for at least 3 months. Vitamin C is mainly found in fruit and vegetables. Even people who don't eat very healthily all the time aren't usually considered at risk of scurvy.
