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? (pick two) a)the patient will have less hemoglobin in the blood. b)the patient will have less immunity against bacteria. c)the patient will have a reduced oxygen supply to the cells. d)the patient will have a thicker blood composition. e)the patient will have increased platelets in the body.

The two effects of the anemic condition include reduced oxygen supply to body cells and elevated blood platelet count.

Anemia leads to a shortage of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobins are responsible for binding and transporting oxygen to different cells of the body. When they are inadequate in supply, it means the cells of the body will also be short in the supply of oxygen.

Also, a lot of times, inadequate hemoglobin goes head to head with elevated blood platelet. However, this is not so in all cases.
