Answer:(1) weakens their immune systems

Explanation:

What Is HIV?

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a virus that attacks cells that help the body fight infection, making a person more vulnerable to other infections and diseases. It is spread by contact with certain bodily fluids of a person with HIV, most commonly during unprotected sex (sex without a condom or HIV medicine to prevent or treat HIV), or through sharing injection drug equipment.

If left untreated, HIV can lead to the disease AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

The human body can’t get rid of HIV and no effective HIV cure exists. So, once you have HIV, you have it for life.

However, by taking HIV medicine (called antiretroviral therapy or ART), people with HIV can live long and healthy lives and prevent transmitting HIV to their sexual partners. In addition, there are effective methods to prevent getting HIV through sex or drug use, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).

First identified in 1981, HIV is the cause of one of humanity’s deadliest and most persistent epidemics.

What Is AIDS?

AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection that occurs when the body’s immune system is badly damaged because of the virus.

In the U.S., most people with HIV do not develop AIDS because taking HIV medicine every day as prescribed stops the progression of the disease.

A person with HIV is considered to have progressed to AIDS when:

the number of their CD4 cells falls below 200 cells per cubic millimeter of blood (200 cells/mm3). (In someone with a healthy immune system, CD4 counts are between 500 and 1,600 cells/mm3.) OR

they develop one or more opportunistic infections regardless of their CD4 count.

Without HIV medicine, people with AIDS typically survive about 3 years. Once someone has a dangerous opportunistic illness, life expectancy without treatment falls to about 1 year. HIV medicine can still help people at this stage of HIV infection, and it can even be lifesaving. But people who start ART soon after they get HIV experience more benefits—that’s why HIV testing is so important.

When making yogurt, bacteria and milk are mixed together and set in a warm area. The container is sealed and no gasses are allow
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

When making yogurt the tart flavor get in the end is more likely because the bacteria have carried out a type of respiration named lactic acid fermentation (option C).

Explanation:

The process of obtaining yogurt from whole milk involves the association of the bacterial species Streptococcus and Lactobacillus. In order to carry out the lactic acid fermentation that produces yogurt, the bacteria act in a different way:

  1. Streptococcus is in charge of removing the oxygen from the milk product.
  2. Lactobacillus promotes the conversion of lactose sugar into lactic acid.

This fermentation process  leads to the conversion of milk into a coagulated and tart flavor product.

Other options are not correct because:

<em>     A.  </em><u><em>Photosynthesis </em></u><em>: is the process that occurs in plants to obtain chemical energy from sunlight.</em>

<em>      B.  </em><u><em>Alcoholic fermentation</em></u><em>:  in this chemical process alcohol is obtained from the fermentation of a sugar.</em>

<em>      D.  </em><u><em>Aerobic cellular respiration</em></u><em>: does not involve fermentation, but the series of processes that convert glucose into energy.</em>
