Iron is mainly related to which function?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Helping in haemoglobin formation
Iron is an essential mineral required for the formation of haemoglobin, the iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to body tissues. Inadequate iron intake can cause iron-deficiency anaemia, tiredness and reduced work capacity. Calcium is more closely associated with bones and teeth, so option D is correct.
