The Exxon Valdez spilled more than 10 MILLION gallons of oil into the Prince William Sound, damaging marine life.

Ten million

On March 24, 1989, the oil truck Exxon Valdez reached Alaska's Prince William Sound, after leaving the Valdez Marine Terminal full of crude oil. At 12:04 am, the ship uncovered a reef, ripping open the hull and discharging nearly 10 million gallons of oil into the atmosphere. Initial acknowledgments by Exxon and the Alyeska Pipeline Company were inadequate to accommodate much of the spill, and a hurricane swept in soon after, spreading the oil extensively.

Eventually, more than 1,000 miles of coastline were polluted, and hundreds of thousands of species of plants and animals died damaging the marine life to the greatest extent.

How are the lytic and lysogenic cycles similar and different in terms of process and infection?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

<h2>Lytic cycle: involve that there is rupture( lysis) of the host cell and release many copies of virus. </h2><h2>Lysogenic cycle:  involve the insertion of the nucleic acid of a bacteriophage into host genome, known as prophage. </h2>

Explanation:

There are many  similarities and differences between lysogenic and lytic cycles that;

1. Lysogenic cycle of bacteriophage :

i)  in lysogenic cycle:  bacteriophage insert its DNA with that of a host, known as prophage and it replicates with host.

2. Lytic cycle of bacteriophage:

i) lytic cycle is that it results in many copies of the virus very quickly and the cell is ruptured and many copies of virus are released.

4. Similarity is that in both cycles bacteriophase inter into the host and use their machinery.

The disease bullous pemphigoid results in the destruction of proteins within the basement membrane that holds the epidermis and
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
This would directly affect the epidermis because blisters will develop within the surface of the skin. Having blisters on the epidermis will decrease the function of the skin to be an effective barrier to disease. This is because blisters are open wounds that are prone to infection. As infection passes through these openings, it will affect the dermis and the other layers of the skin. Bullae is actually an auto-immune skin disease.

As you just learned, in real ecosystems, trophic efficiencies usually vary from about 5% to about 20%. as a result, net producti
konstantin123 [22]
When energy passes from one trophic level to the next, I would guess that the two factors which decrease the total amount of energy from being passed up are: 
1. An organism does not assimilate all the energy of food consumed. Within a consumer, digestion and assimilation of energy is not 100% efficient: some of the energy is lost.
2. A large proportion of energy assimilated by a producer and consumer is lost through respiration, i.e., day-to-day maintenance of metabolic processes.
