Answer 1

Answer:

Vitamin C deficiency.

Answer 2

Wounds take a longer time to heal when we have a deficiency of Vitamin C.

• Vitamin C is useful in collagen synthesis and fibroblast proliferation.
• Collagen and fibroblast are connective tissue that is present in the skin.
• During a wound injury, the machinery collagen and fibroblast speed up the process of healing by making and clumping new fibroblasts and providing collagen fibers as substrate.
• However, in the case of vitamin C deficiency, the production of collagen and fibroblasts is poor.
• This results in less efficiency and poor repairing of the wound.
