Question
What would be the consequences of a deficiency of haemoglobin in our bodies?
Advertisements
Solution
A deficiency of haemoglobin in the human body directly results in anaemia, which significantly reduces the blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity. Because haemoglobin is the vital iron-rich protein in red blood cells responsible for binding and transporting oxygen from the lungs to all body tissues, its shortage starves the cells of the oxygen required for cellular respiration and energy production.

Which of the following is most likely to have a much higher breathing rate?
When a person breathes in air, the air enters into his body through an organ A having two holes B in it. The air then passes through pharynx and larynx and enters into a tube C. The tube C divides into two smaller tubes D at its lower end. The two smaller tubes are attached to two respiratory organs E. Each smaller tube divides inside the organs E to form a large number of still smaller tubes called F. The smallest tubes F have air-sacs G at their ends in which gaseous exchange takes place in the body of the person. What are A, B, C, D, E, F and G?

The Figure shown below represents an activity to prove the requirements for photosynthesis. During this activity, two healthy potted plants were kept in the dark for 72 hours. After 72 hours, KOH is kept in the watch glass in setup X and not in setup Y. Both these setups are air tight and have been kept in light for 6 hours.
