Answer:

Damage to connective tissue and bones

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein deficiency or low intake of protein damages the connective tissues and bones which increases the risk of bone fractures.

For example; Kwashiorkor is caused by protein deficiency. It swells the liver, degenerates the skin and leads to stunt growth in children; as a result of damaged tissues and bones.
