Question
what would be a result of starvation or a protein - deficient diet? multiple choice decreased blood protein concentration, water accumulation in tissue spaces increased blood protein concentration, water loss from tissue spaces decreased blood protein concentration, water loss from tissue spaces increased blood protein concentration, water accumulation in tissue spaces
In starvation or protein - deficient diet, there is less protein intake. This leads to decreased blood protein concentration. Blood proteins help maintain osmotic balance. With lower blood protein levels, water moves from blood to tissue spaces causing water accumulation (edema).
