Door knobs, remote controls, and keyboards are all examples of fomites.

Over [174]

Answer:

Explanation:

<em>d. An amino acid chelate is an acid-buffering agent used to counter excess acidity in the stomach.</em>

The chelates can pass through the stomach and resist its natural acidity (HCl), due to its stronger chemical bonds. An amino acid in its chelate form like CaCO_3 simultaneously counters excess acidity, because of its alkaline nature. After passing the stomach, it is absorbed in the small intestine. Therefore, a chelated Calcium Carbonate can be used as an acid buffering agent, to lower the acidity levels of the stomach.
