What is lack of oxygen in blood?
The term is hypoxemia lack of oxygen in the blood means that the hemoglobin oxygen complex is not being formed properly the oxygen hemoglobin complex is HbO4 if less than four oxygen molecules combine with one hemoglobin then it is called oxygen deficiency in the blood It can also be caused by a lack of red blood cells-anemia

What word means a condition in which the red blood cells do not contain enough hemoglobin?
The lack of hemoglobin in the red blood cells is attributed to anemia or iron deficiency. There is no actual condition in itself of lack of hemoglobin in the red blood cells. Hemoglobin times three equals hematocrit, which is the volume of packed red blood cells. A low count of either indicates anemia. This could be the result of an iron deficiency or a protein deficiency, or it could mean internal bleeding. The etiology of the low hemoglobin needs to be determined.
What happens if you have a hemoglobin deficiency?
The blood's oxygen transport mechanism depends upon hemoglobin, so a person with no hemoglobin would immediately succumb to anoxia, unless such a person were to be placed in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

How might a lack of dietary iron affect the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood?
Iron is required by the hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin carries oxygen to all areas of the body. A lack of dietary iron could decrease the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells, which can lead to anemia.
