Expert Solution

Step 1

Starvation is a period in which body is not given adequate amount of nutrients which are needed to work efficiently. As a result various physiological changes occur, for example brain is the part of the body that controls all the organs. For this it needs continuous source of glucose for its working. So in the state of prolonged starvation brain may stop working and body may enter into coma.
