Answer:

The producers generate food for themselves and others; consumers do not produce anything, instead eating producers, other consumers or both. Organisms that eat only producers (i.e., plants) are called herbivores. Animals that eat only consumers (i.e., meat) are called carnivores

Answer:

If the oil spilled in the gulf would have been processed oil, it would be worse than a normal oil spill as these oils have a higher shelf life.

Explanation:

Oil spills happen when a large quantity of oil gets mixed with large water bodies like sea and oceans. The oil being denser than water floats on the surface and does not mix with the water. It forms a coating on top of the water.

The difference between processed oil and normal oil is that they are heated at very high temperatures and this results in oxidation which creates free radicals, which are not good for the body and its cells. Also they have a very long shelf life due to which they will remain on water for a long time.

When oil spills happen, the wind cause the spill to spread over the water surface, thereby engulfing a large amount of area. The major disadvantages of the spill are:-

The oil gets stuck in the feathers of the birds who come by to dip themselves,
Animals like whale, dolphins have blow holes for releasing water. the oil covers these holes and makes it difficult for them to breathe.
The fur of animals like seal and otter gets mixed with the oil and can prove harmful to them as it gets them exposed to cold.
The overall BOD of the water body decreases, and organisms which use sun rays coming inside the ocean suffer as these get blocked.
Since processed oil has longer shelf life, a large quantity of animals will suffer and die.

If there is a new moon at midnight on october 1, when would the next new moon occur

Dafna11 [192]

A new moon occurs once every lunar month, and a lunar month lasts 29.5 earth days. Therefore, the new moon may occur either 29 days after this one, on the 30th of October, or it may occur 30 days after this one, on the 31st of October, since there can not be 0.5 days in a month.

If hunting continues and drastically reduces the deer population, how might this impact the hawk population?

laiz [17]

Well, considering if the deer and the hawk have a direct predator prey relationship, where the deer are the prey, then the hawk population will also drop quite a lot, unless they have some other major food sources, but chances are they'll still drop.

If it's NOT a direct predator prey situation, for example: The deer happen to eat something that the hawks also eat, or the deer are prey for something the hawks eat:
If the deer eat something the hawks eat, by them dropping it means there will be more food supply for the hawks, meaning as the deer population drops, the hawk population will go up.

If the deer are PREY to something the hawk eats, then by there being less deer, then whatever the primary consumer of the deer is will also drop. If the hawk eats that predator, then there will be less of those predators, and less prey, meaning the hawk population will still drop

You were most likely given a food web to look at. Seeing how you didn't post that, I just gave you the only 3 situations that could happen.

~Hope this helps!
