In iron-deficiency anemia, the number of red blood
cells is low. Their color is pale due to the lack of
hemoglobin, and they carry less oxygen than normal
red blood cells.

Hemoglobin has a miraculous oxygen-carrying ability, that permits it to
bind four separate oxygen molecules. It carries these molecules with great
care throughout the circulatory system and deposits them in tissues that
need oxygen.

able to separate easily from the hemoglobin. The loose bond
between them facilitates this. If a stronger bond were to devel-
op, then despite being transported throughout the body, the
oxygen molecules could not be deposited in the tissues as the
red blood cells carrying the oxygen passed by. That, in turn,
would spell certain death for us.
The existence and breaking point of this loose
bond has been determined sensitively. The environ-
