Answer:

For erythropoesis/ RBC production, anaemia

Explanation:

Our body needs a constant supply of blood. The blood contains haemoglobin which is a respiratory pigment and a conjugated protein. It contains iron and globin protein. This iron-containing pigment supplies more oxygen to the tissues and gives red colour to the blood. The deficiency of iron or this haemoglobin pigment in the blood leads to anaemia. The iron pigment or haem pigment of haemoglobin increases the carrying capacity of oxygen. Our body tissue needs oxygen for metabolism.We get iron from foods and these irons play an important role in RBC production in the bone marrow.

The respiratory system always needs iron. The red blood cells are in charge of the transport of O2. They need iron to do this. 

Hope this helps! :)

Which source is the LEAST credible for scientific information?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

D) A Survey of fellow classmates

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because an informal survey involves various answers that may or may not be accurate.  Informal surveys cannot be held as scientific fact and are, therefore, not reliable. A scientific journal is reliable because it most likely includes data from an experiment and/or research of a trusted scientist or group. The results of past experiments are very reliable because these are the results of hard work and thorough planning and research. A scientific discussion with colleagues is not very credible because it involves the sharing of opinionated information, but it is certainly more reliable that the varying answers of school-aged peers.
