English abstract Numerical study of three dimensional Carreau liquid flow with heat and mass transport features over a variable thickness sheet filled with microorganisms is analyzed. We considered the non-uniform heat sink or source and multiple slip effects. The governing non-linear partially differential expressions are developed into ordinary differential systems by using variable transformations. These expressions are solved numerically by using Runge-Kutta fourth order method connected with shooting methodology. A Parametric study is implemented to demonstrate the effects of Hartmann number, Prandtl number, Weissenberg number, Peclet number, chemical reaction and heat sink/source parameters on liquid velocity, temperature and, concentration profiles. The quantities of physical interest are described within the boundary layer. From this analysis, we found that the magnetic parameter decrease the local Sherwood and local Nusselt numbers for both n=1 and 𝑛=0.5 cases. The constraint of chemical reaction enhances the mass transfer rate and decelerates the density of motile mass transfer rate. The space dependent and temperature dependent heat source/sink suppress the local Nusselt number
