I'm a bit confused about this question. But I will try my best to answer. :)

To prevent a certain virus, or increase someone's immunity towards a virus, doctors give patients a shot/vaccine. For example, people get a flu shot yearly to help prevent them from getting the flu. The shot contains a small portion of the flu itself. The flu remains dormant until the body decides to activate it or fight it off. This also helps the body become more immune to the virus/sickness and fight it off easier.

I hope this helps! :)

What is the purpose of the carbon cycle?

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The purpose of the carbon cycle is to utilize the carbon by the organisms such as plant which uses carbon in the form of carbondioxide for making food. This carbon is stored in the form of glucose. When this food is eaten by the animals, it is broken down into simpler substances and carbondioxode is released in the atmosphere again.

Some carbon is present in soil which is used by microorganisms such as bacteria. So carbon cycle is very important for the survival of life on earth.
