ANSWER:

Protein deficiency may lead damage to connective tissues and bones.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The lack of proteins may reduce muscle mass and therefore a person may lose significant weight in less time. The lack of proteins may also lead one to eat more because proteins keep one satiated for longer time periods.
  • Low protein intake increases appetite and so a person may gain weight. Proteins are important to build string tissues and muscles and a deficiency of proteins may lead to damage of the connective tissues and muscles.
