The iron is an important component of the RBCs (Red blood cells). The hemoglobin is made with the iron. It helps in the transport of oxygen throughout the body. The infants need significant amount of iron in order for a proper growth and healthy growth of their body and brain. The babies generally get this iron form the mother's milk, but iron-fortified formula can also be used. The requirement of the iron of the infants is certainly much more than the adults pound by pound. Where an infant needs 11 mg of iron daily, and adult of 18 years needs the same amount despite his larger size.

However, their requirement is not dependent on their gender as the boys and girl infants both need same amount of iron as they grow with same rate.

Hence, the answer is infants need significantly more iron than adults, pound for pound.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

All living things are made up of one or more cells.

Explanation:

The cell theory is a universal theory proposed by three scientists viz: Theodor Schwann, Mathias Scleiden, and Rudolf Virchow in the year 1838. These three scientists contributed to the cell theory and proposed the following:

1) All living things are composed of one or more cells

2) Cell is the basic and fundamental unit of life

3) New cells arise from pre-existing cells.

However, at an earlier date specifically 1665, an English scientist named Robert Hooke has discovered and coined the term "cells" in his published book by observing a piece of cork under a microscope. This Hooke's discovery of cells from a once living cork best supports the part of the cell theory that states that: All living things are made up of one or more cells.
