Which anemia is caused due to Microcytic, hypochromic red blood cells?
Show Hint
- Pernicious anemia
- Aplastic anemia
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Hemolytic anemia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
- Microcytic, hypochromic anemia refers to red blood cells (RBCs) that are smaller than normal (microcytic) and have reduced hemoglobin content (hypochromic), which appears pale under a microscope.
- The most common cause of this type of anemia is Iron deficiency anemia, which results from insufficient iron for hemoglobin synthesis.
- Iron is essential for the formation of hemoglobin, and its deficiency leads to impaired hemoglobin production, producing smaller, less pigmented RBCs.
Analysis of other options:
- (a) Pernicious anemia: A type of macrocytic anemia caused by vitamin B\textsubscript{12} deficiency due to intrinsic factor absence.
- (b) Aplastic anemia: A normocytic normochromic anemia caused by bone marrow failure, not related to cell size or color.
- (d) Hemolytic anemia: Characterized by increased RBC destruction, often with normocytic cells; not microcytic-hypochromic.

- Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones that represent enormous structural diversity in terms of the arrangement of atoms in space, resulting in hundreds of stereoisomers. Although the chemical properties of most stereoisomers may not be very different, their metabolic rate and utilization in biological systems is significantly different and known to influence the overall carbohydrate metabolism. Structural variants, which arise due to a different arrangement of atoms in three-dimensional space are known as stereoisomers. The number of stereoisomers can be theoretically estimated by using the formula 2n, where ‘n’ is the number of stereocenters or asymmetric (chiral) carbon atoms in a molecule. Out of these stereoisomers, there are some structures, which are mirror images of each other, and they are referred to as enantiomers.
