select all the correct answers
anemia is a medical condition in which the affected person lacks enough red blood cells. what two effects will such a condition have on the patient?

the patient will have less hemoglobin in the blood
the patient will have less immunity against bacteria
the patient will have a reduced oxygen supply to the cells
the patient will have a thicker blood composition.
the patient will have increased platelets in the body

Explanation:

Red blood cells contain hemoglobin, which binds and transports oxygen. A lack of red blood cells (anemia) reduces total blood hemoglobin. With less hemoglobin, the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity drops, reducing oxygen supply to body cells. Immunity against bacteria is linked to white blood cells, not red blood cells. Anemia makes blood less dense, not thicker, and does not increase platelets.

Answer:

A. The patient will have less hemoglobin in the blood
C. The patient will have a reduced oxygen supply to the cells
