The most biologically devastating oil spills in the marine environment are usually a result of the sinking of oil tankers.

An oil spill is a type of pollution that occurs when a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon is released into the environment, particularly the marine ecology.

Oil releases into the sea or coastal waterways are generally referred to as marine oil spills, however land-based spills are also possible.

Oil spills can result from crude oil discharges from tankers, sinking of oil tankers, offshore platforms, drilling rigs, and wells as well as refined petroleum products (like gasoline and diesel) and their byproducts, heavier fuels used by big ships like bunker fuel, or the spill of any oily waste or garbage.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Ashing process is done to evaluate the ash content present in petroleum or other proucts, so that they can be used for certain applications

The two major types of ashing process that includes dry ashing and wet ashing and can be performed using microwave systems or conventional means.

a. errors made in the preceding method while determining the ash content of buttermilk by conventional dry ashing are as following:

  • Buttermilk should not immediatly put into muffle immediatley, it should be boiled first to avoid splatter.
  • Temperature should be between 500 to 600 degree celcius at high temperature teh ash content can be loss.
  • The sample should be ashed for 12-18 hrs , more than this can damage the required ash content.
  • platinum tip should be used in place of stainless steel because platinum has a lower concomitant tip impedance than stainless stell, so less reactive to ash.
  • The ash should put in dessicator and not allow to kept in open because ash can react with the humidity in teh atmosphere.

b. The result that occur due to above errors such as the temperature, time,  tongs and leaving ash in open will manipulate the final ash content and its application can be harmful for humans and for other purpose if it will be used.

Why is it easy for a virus to mutate?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Viruses mutate very quickly The major reason that viruses evolve faster than say, mosquitoes or snakes or bed bugs, is because they multiply faster than other organisms. And that means every new individual is an opportunity for new mutations as they make a copy of their genetic material. Many of those mutations have no noticeable effect.

gladu [14]

Answer:

Components of the electron transport chain (ordered by electronegativity from least electronegative to most electronegative):  

NADH dehydrogenase >> Coenzyme Q >> Cytochrome b-c1 complex >> Cytochrome c >> Cytochrome oxidase complex > O2

Explanation:

The electron transport chain transfers electrons from donors to acceptors via redox reactions (i.e., where reduction and oxidation occur together), and couples the transfer of electrons with proton transfer (H+ ions) across the membrane. In the electron transport chain, the electrons are transferred from NADH dehydrogenase NADH to oxygen (O2) through a series of transmembrane complexes: NADH-Q oxidoreductase, Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase and cytochrome c oxidase. In the first place, the reduced form of coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) transports the electrons from the NADH-Q oxidoreductase to the Q-cytochrome c oxidoreductase complex (Cytochrome b-c1 complex). Second, the cytochrome c transports the electrons from this complex (i.e., Cytochrome b-c1 complex) to the Cytochrome oxidase complex, this being the last component in the electron transport chain that is responsible to catalyze the reduction of O2.
