Answer:

B) decreases.

Explanation:

    The HIV virus acts within the cells of the immune system, responsible for the body's defense. After entering the cell, HIV begins to act and integrate into the genetic code of the infected cell. The cells most affected by the virus are called T-CD4, which are used by HIV to make copies of itself.

    Each time this cell, when infected, divides, it produces a copy of its genetic code and, at the same time, a copy of the virus's genetic code.

    Infected by the virus, the cells of the immune system begin to function less efficiently until, over time, the body's ability to fight common diseases diminishes and is subject to the onset of opportunistic diseases.

Answer: C.  Dead snake fossilizing underground.

A fossil fuel is the fuel that is formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of dead plants and animals underground. These organisms and their remains remain deep inside the depth of numerous layers of soil resulting in fuel produced after millions of years. A carbon sink refers to a natural or artificial reservoir that stores and absorbs atmospheric carbon by physical and biological process. The formation of fossil fuel inside the earth is carbon sink.  

Dead snake will be added as a matter on which biological activity called as decomposition will take place. The organic matter of dead snake will be decomposed by microbes in the soil. The organic matter being the source of carbon, after decomposition will become the reservoir of carbon in the form of fossil fuel.

Therefore, dead snake fossilizing underground is the example of carbon source becoming a carbon sink.

Which statement describes an important role of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere?
MrRissso [65]

Answer:Plants use carbon dioxide to make food

Explanation: Carbon-dioxide plays a very important role in sustaining life on Earth.

Plants use carbon-dioxide and water for photosynthesis in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to produce food and oxygen.

CO₂ + H₂O →  O₂ + glucose (food)

This food is consumed by the animals and oxygen is used for respiration. Animals use energy from the food to do work and exhale back carbon-dioxide.
