Answer: Metabolic alkalosis

Explanation: Metabolic alkalosis refers to a metabolic condition in which the tissue’s pH is increased above the normal range (7.35–7.45). This occurs as a result of decrease in the concentration of Hydrogen ion, which results to increased bicarbonate in the body system. It can also be caused by direct increase in the bicarbonate concentrations.

lions [1.4K]

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.

Minchanka [31]

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Carrying capacity can be defined as the total number of members of the population of a species that an ecosystem can sustain in terms of providing resources in the form of food, shelter and others. When the resources are available in surplus then the population of a species increases exponentially but declines when resources become scarce. The human population is increasing tremendously all over the world this is supported by the resources like food, water, fossil fuels, air, minerals, and others. But some of these resources are decreasing due to overuse and may not be available in future to sustain the future generation.
