In 2010, an area in the Gulf of Mexico was the site of the worst oil spill in United States history. The Deepwater Horizon oil r

ig caught fire, sank, and spilled over 200 million gallons of oil into the surrounding waters. Prior to this event, the leaking of oil into the Prince William Sound from the Exxon Valdez off the coast of Alaska in 1989 was the worst oil spill in US history. In order to assess the damage done to the local ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico, how would biologists best organize the data?
A) Biologists would compare the migration patterns of shore birds from 2010, 2011, and 2012.
B) Biologists would compare the average water temperatures of the Gulf coast before and after the oil spill.
C) Biologists would track the number of species and their relative abundance in the Gulf coast region in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
D) Biologists would compare the biodiversity of the gulf coastal regions in 2011 to the biodiversity of the Alaskan coastal regions in 1990, after each of the oil spill events.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

  1. <u>Option-(A): </u>In an illustrated flowchart, the movement of carbon atoms through an aquatic food chain is indicated by arrows.
  2. <u>Option-(C)-</u> An increase in the population of scavengers.

Explanation:

  • The ecological pyramid is comprised of different level of organisms as the energy flow occur through them in a more directed form inside the different spheres depending upon the medium for energy transmission across the given parameters or area. As, the arrow provides us with a more directed way for understanding the transmission of energy through different organisms and there respective levels inside the ecological pyramid.
  • While, the increase in the level of scavengers or the animals which consumes the left overs of other living beings is balanced with the addition of the secondary consumers to the aquatic ecosystem.As, it will provide equal chances and energy to the different beings inside the ecosystem.

The trees in a forest all have closed stomata. what is the cause?
ivanzaharov [21]
This is to prevent water loss by the trees. Under drought or dry conditions, plants may close their stomata to limit the amount of water that evaporates from their leaves a process called transpiration. In this process water diffuses through the stomata into the atmosphere, in a bid to preserve water plants may close their stomata, especially during very dry climates.

qwelly [4]
<span>To meet this father's needs, he can be provided time to be alone. He must be provided with information about the baby in a timely manner. Allowing time for the father to ask questions after viewing a film about a new baby is a simplistic approach to the father's emotional needs and does not address the father's concerns.</span>
