B or D, although I'm not sure which
Answer:
D. Immune response
Explanation:
An immune response is defined as any reaction that occurs within a host when its body recognizes and defends itself against pathogenic microorganisms (e.g., viruses, bacteria, protists, etc) and/or chemical compounds that look to be foreign and harmful to the body. When the number of detected pathogenic microorganisms increases, the immune system in the host responds by producing cells that attack them or by producing proteins (i.e., antibodies) that destroy the harmful substances. A substance capable of triggering an immune response is known as an antigen (e.g., a structural protein of a pathogenic virus). There are two distinct types of immune responses: 1-innate immune responses, where the body mounts a response immediately without requiring a previous contact with the harmful antigen and does not retain a memory of previous responses; and 2- adaptive immune responses that only occur after exposure to an antigen, these responses are slower but they are specific and produce immunological memory.
Answer:
d. "To prevent nutrient overdoses" is not a function of the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA)
Explanation:
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is part of the system of nutrition recommendations which is the Dietary Reference Intake. The RDA considers the daily dietary intake level of a nutrient considered sufficient, so its function is to meet nutritional needs, to reduce risk of disease and to prevent nutrient deficiencies. However, to prevent nutrient overdoses RDA is not the right one to use. In that case Tolerable upper intake levels (UL) is the correct is the correct reference value to avoid excessive intake of nutrients. For example, vitamin A can be harmful in excesive amounts.
True
The reverse may be true when a person feels no remorse for their actions or wrong doing. They will not impose guilt upon themselves if they feel as if they are not guilty. Another example would be when the crime committed is not as severe as the punishment given Such as when a person jaywalks across a street but society punished them with a 5 year prison sentence. That is highly unfair and unjust punishment compared to the crime committed.
