lack of nutrients leads to deficiency disease, give reasons

Answer 1

Hey Shreya!

So coming to your question, lack of nutrients indeed leads to deficiency diseases ..
Our bodies require certain definite amounts of nutrients for our growth, sustainance,and all other metabolic activities...when we don't take sufficient amounts of the nutrients,then our bodies develop deficiency diseases due to absence of a particular vitamin or mineral...
We have diseases like rickets, anaemia,scurvy etc. caused by the insufficiency of vitamins such as Vitamin C ,D,A, etc..
Even plants require nutrients such as phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium etc From the soil for performing the various physiological processes which includes respiration, growth, reproduction and many more...

Hope that helps you friend!
