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>

True or false:<br><br> Fish are considered carbon-based organism
vekshin1

Answer:

Its how you see it.

Explanation:

1.Life on Earth is based on carbon, likely because each carbon atom can form bonds with up to four other atoms simultaneously. This quality makes carbon well-suited to form the long chains of molecules that serve as the basis for life as we know it, such as proteins and DNA.

2.All life on earth <em><u>can be thought</u></em> of as "carbon-based." Just be careful about turning this around backwards. It is true that all living things contain carbon compounds... but the opposite is not true. Just because a certain material is referred to as organic does not mean it is or ever was alive.

arsen [322]

Answer: To know if a document is a primary source, check to see when the document is published, if it is an autobiography of a person, a diary, a letter, or the documents happen at the time of the event.

The competition between two organisms can be seen if there is only 1 source of food or habitat space and they're competing against each other for the food or habitat.

There is cooperation between two organisms if they are helping each other with resources or alarming each other if there is danger.

Predation between two organisms happen when one organism hunts the other organism for food.
