Solution

Zinc:

  1. Zinc is required for cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as DNA synthesis and mitotic regulation.
  2. It is a structural component of a large variety of proteins, including enzymes in cellular signaling pathways and transcription factors, at the molecular level.
  3. Our immune system is strengthened by zinc. A deficit can result in a reduced immune response because it is essential for immune cell activity and cell signaling.
