Spilled oil can harm the habitat because of its chemical constituents being poisonous. This can affect organisms both from internal and external exposure to oil. Oil can also end the lives of some small species of fish or invertebrates, reducing birds' and mammals' ability to maintain their body temperatures. 

Since most oils float, most sea creatures are heavily affected by oil. Examples include animals like sea otters and seabirds. 

Most states have issued some set of regulations to follow. Environmental Protection Agency's Rescuing Wildlife<span> page gives overview information about the issue. Additionally, </span>Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research<span> website and the </span>Oiled Wildlife Care Network<span> website explain the situation elaborately. </span>

Use complete sentences to explain how the mass of hydrogen is conserved during cellular respiration.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The mass of hydrogen is conserved during cellular respiration as it follows the Law of Conservation of Matter. This shows that hydrogen has been conserved throughout the entire process (H representing Hydrogen) as the product has the same amount of hydrogen as the reactants.

The AMOUNT of carbon-dioxide atoms released by respiration are EXACTLY EQUAL to the atoms of these materials contained in the oxygen and carbon converted. In this way respiration has conserved the mass or material and in this way followed the law of conservation of mass.
