The answer would be:
A. Absorbs; Increases
This is why:
When a substance is heated, the molecules that makes that substance gain kinetic energy. This is because heat is energy and the substance ABSORBS it. When this happens, this causes the molecules to move faster which results in an INCREASE in kinetic energy. This would result to an increase in temperature of the substance.
You would die because the radiation levels would disrupt brain waves causing heart failure, stroke, ect.
It is water soluble and therefore the substance is hydrophilic
I know for a fact mushrooms and molds id assume mildew as well but not sure about the other 2 hope this helps!
A forest fire would burn large trees, fertilizing the soil and makes room for smaller plants to grow, which provides more food for herbivores. The lack of trees also makes it easier for carnivores to hunt prey. Good luck in high school!
