A. within the normal range
B. above normal
C. abnormally low
D. normal only if James is an infant

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Within the normal range.

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is a protein molecule found in the red blood cells. It's primary function is to carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carry carbon dioxide out of the tissues.

For men, the normal range for hemoglobin in the blood is between 14 g/100ml and 18 g/100ml. A low hemoglobin count could be an indication of anemia, while a high count could be attributed to lifestyle choices.
