Normal hemoglobin levels:
   Older men: 12.4 to 14.9 gm/dL
   Older women:11.7 to 13.8 gm/dL

Possible causes for anemia is blood loss from an injury/surgery, not enough production of red blood cells, or it's happening too much destruction of red blood cells. (Whatever the cause is, the patient is losing blood)

To determine why, the doctor should request a blood test with the following information: Complete blood count (CBC) Iron levels and ferritin levels, Vitamin B12 and folate, Reticulocyte count, <span>Bilirubin and maybe some s</span>pecial blood tests to detect if the cause it's from a immune attack.
It's also possible to need a sample of bone marrow but it's rare.

Nitella [24]

Answer: The additional protection in the body of aerobic organisms are that they can fight with the ROS radicle formed in the body.

Explanation:

The aerobic organism use oxygen as a final electron acceptor. The aerobic organisms have enzymes in the body which helps in getting from the reactive oxygen species. These enzymes are superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and catalase.

Anaerobes are vulnerable to these ROS which is produced by their own metabolism. They do not contain the enzymes such as superoxide dismutase and catalase that can help them to survive in these conditions.

Hence, because of antioxidants the aerobic organism can survive in oxygen and anaerobes cannot.
