Tissue Fluid Accumulates People Eat Protein Explain Marks

A lack of dietary protein reduces the concentration of protein in the blood, lowering the blood's water potential and thus reducing the water potential gradient, leading to tissue fluid accumulation.

Front Tissue fluid accumulates in the tissues of people who do not eat enough protein. Explain why ( 2 marks)
Back less protein in blood; 
water potential gradient is lower (less –ve)
