Question

how does hiv develop into aids?
○ by infecting the heart and lungs
○ by poisoning the liver and pancreas
○ by interrupting enzyme production
○ by depleting the bodys immune cells

Explanation:

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) targets and infects CD4+ T - cells (a type of immune cell). As the virus replicates, it destroys these immune cells. When the number of CD4+ T - cells becomes severely low, the immune system is weakened, and the infection progresses to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). The first option is incorrect as HIV mainly targets immune cells, not heart and lungs. The second option is wrong as HIV doesn't poison liver and pancreas. The third option is incorrect as HIV's main action is on immune cells, not enzyme production. The fourth option correctly describes how HIV leads to AIDS by depleting immune cells.

Answer:

D. by depleting the body's immune cells
