In general, oil spills can affect animals and plants in two ways: from the oil itself and from the response or cleanup operations. Understanding both types of impacts can help spill responders minimize overall impacts to ecological communities and help them to recover much more quickly. 

Spilled oil can harm living things because its chemical constituents are poisonous. This can affect organisms both from internal exposure to oil through ingestion or inhalation and from external exposure through skin and eye irritation. Oil can also smother some small species of fish or invertebrates and coat feathers and fur, reducing birds' and mammals' ability to maintain their body temperatures.

Prokaryotes can exchange genes with each other. True or False.​
makvit [3.9K]

Given Question:

Can prokaryotes exchange genes with each other?

Answer: <u>True</u>

Explanation:

By the process of conjugation, their DNA is <u>transferred</u> from one prokaryote to another by means of a pilus, which brings the organisms into contact with one another. The DNA transferred can be in the form of a plasmid or as a hybrid, containing both plasmid and chromosomal DNA.

The diagram shows an example of a food web. What are common traits of the prey shown that help them survive? What might happen i
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Adverse effect on the animals.

Explanation:

If the rabbit population suddenly shrank due to disease, it will adversely affected the population of eagle, fox and coyote because these animals depend on them through feeding. Eagle, fox and coyote feed on the rabbit so if the population of rabbit decreases, then there will be scarcity of food for these animals and as a result decrease occur in their populations so we can say that adverse effect occurs on the population of eagle, fox and coyote.

Community ecologists study the factors that determine the abundance of different species. The Abundance of three algae species (
Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

The abundance of three algal species in Lake A is now represented by the vectors:

[97, 84, 43] and [100, 80, 50]

Now if we look at Lake A, the change occurring in the vector of algae species can be determined as:

a = [100 -97, 80 - 84. 50 - 43]

a = [3, -4, 7]

Thus, the magnitude of that change is:

|a| = \sqrt{(3)^2 +(-4)^2+(7)^2}

|a| = \sqrt{9+16+49}

|a| = \sqrt{74}

|a| =8.6 \ mg/mL

The abundance of three algal species in Lake B is now represented by the vectors:

[25, 59, 22] and [20, 63, 15]

At Lake B, the change occurring in the vector of algae species can be determined as:

b = [20 -23, 63 - 59. 15 - 22]

b = [-3, -4, -7]

Thus, the magnitude of that change is:

|b| = \sqrt{(-3)^2 +(4)^2+(-7)^2}

|b| = \sqrt{9+16+49}

|b| = \sqrt{74}

|b| =8.6 \ mg/mL

Hence, for both Lake A and B, the magnitude of change is the same.
