Consuming adequate amounts of protein and zinc helps maximize the health of the immune system in elderly individuals.

Why are protein and zinc important for the immune system?

  • Because protein and zinc help immune cells grow and function normally, even a minor or moderate shortage can cause lymphocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages—which defend the body from germs and viruses—to work less actively.
  • Amino acids make up proteins. These substances aid in transforming T cells, B cells, and antibodies—important immune system components—into germ-fighters that recognize and eliminate potentially infectious cells as they enter your body.
  • People require vitamin zinc to maintain good health. Each cell in the body has zinc.
  • It supports the immune system's defense against invasive viruses and bacteria. Additionally, the body needs zinc to produce DNA, the genetic material found in every cell, and proteins.

How did Shi Huangdi enforce his control over a widespread territory in China?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

He used philosophy of Legalism which gave absolute power to the king and encouraged strict laws and harsh punishments.

Explanation:

Philosophy of Legalism is based on the assumption that Human beings are inherently selfish and will always do things to serve their own interest.

In order to prevent the selfish human from causing chaos, a strong legal system  is needed in order to create laws that will strongly punish those who conduct misbehaviors. That central system need to be controlled by a body of government that possess higher authority than any other institution.

This is why supporters of legalism tend to support giving absolute power to the Central government (Kings and his trusted people;.)

You should consider using floor dry compounds or hydrophobic mops if a spill is bigger than what can be wiped up with ______ sho
Sladkaya [172]

Hi!


The answer would be C. Three

Explanation:

Floor dry compounds are absorbents that are employed in various settings to ensure complete clean up of waste, dust or spillages. They can be water-soluble or oil-emulsion based products. They are particulate like, and can be scattered over the spill, which they take up, and then cleaned. These can be used on wide-spread spills.

The hydrophobic mop has a front that absorbs materials lacking water, such as oil or hydrocarbons, and is effectively employed to deal with large spills.

A cleaning rag is employed for small spills, usually to cut down the cost of using new tissues and paper towels for spills. They are used frequently for bench-tops, and good quality rags can prevent scratches on surfaces.

Small spills are those which can be cleaned up with three or less rags, and larger spills are those which require more than three rags to clean up.

Which statement reflects the federalists view on abuses of power
snow_tiger [21]

I believe the answer is: government controls can guard against abuses of power

Federalist tend to want the government to have the largest control in society rather than the people or the states.

So the answers that federalist have to social issue tend to lean on creating more government control or giving the government more power to do intervention.
