Answer:

The flu, also known as the influenza virus, is diagnosed year-round in the United States. Fall and winter seasons are when the greatest impact is usually seen and, therefore, is considered the "flu season." Influenza activity has a period of greatest activity between December and February, but the activity can last until May.

Every year at the beginning of the fall season, people are encouraged to get a flu shot.

CDC data on influenza vaccine:

• 116 million doses of influenza vaccines have been distributed.

CDC

(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommends that all persons 6 months and older receive the influenza vaccine at the end of October.

• Influenza vaccination offers important benefits

Use the terms "radiation", "conduction", and "convection" to explain how a pot of water boils.
kirill115 [55]
Heya!
So, the radiation from a fire warms the bottom of a pot. Through conduction, the water inside the pot is warmed. Finally, through convection, the hot water rises and less hot water sinks, forming a motion similar to that of a circle.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

1.)negatively charged protein 

2.)positive anode

3.) shock

4.) ?

5.)decreased synthesis by the hepatocytes and water and sodium retention

Explanation:

1.Albumin is a negatively charged protein and its loss from the serum results in the retention of other negatively charged ions such as chloride and bicarbonate. As bicarbonate and chloride anions are used to calculate the anion gap, there is a subsequent decrease in the gap

2.At physiologic pH, most proteins are negatively charged, with albumin having a stronger negative charge and migrating further towards the positive anode, whereas immunoglobulins have the weakest negative charge and are closer to the negatively charged cathode.

3.?

4.?

5.Human serum albumin and liver cirrhosis

Patients with advanced cirrhosis almost always have hypoalbuminemia caused both by decreased synthesis by the hepatocytes and water and sodium retention that dilutes the

content of albumin in the extracellular space
