Answer:

Option (a), (b) and (c)

Explanation:

At the old age, a person's immune system becomes weak and the person becomes more prone to diseases like influenza or common cold or flu.

These infections are more common at the age above 60 years where a severe condition of cold can also lead to Pneumonia.

Also those people which did not have the Tetanus vaccine at the age of 11 or 12 must have the Tetanus Tdap.

The lack of immunity to fight against seasonal changes make it necessary for the elderly people to get influenza vaccine.

Also Pneumonia vaccine provides protection against 23 types of pneumococcal bacteria thus it necessitates the vaccination of Pneumonia.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

Temperature is most likely the reason of protein unfolding (denaturation).

Explanation:

In the figure attached, coiled (3-dimensional) protein structure is changed to 2 dimensional structure in which protein is unfolded. This is most likely the result of heating proteins which destroys the hydrogen bonds and non-polar hydrophobic interactions that are necessary to establish the tertiary structure of proteins. Principally, increased temperature results in the increased kinetic energy of atoms within a molecule. If the amount of heat is sufficient to break the hydrogen bonds, protein molecule can unfold to 2D structure as shown in the figure.
