The overall biodiversity in the Gulf of Mexico has gone down since the Deepwater Horizon spill. I hope this helps.
What’s the smallest muscle in the human body?
The stapedius, in your middle ear, measures about 1mm in size (or
1/26 of an inch). Connected to the stapes bone, it contracts to pull
back the stapes and help protect your inner ear from loud noises. The
stapedius also contracts to keep your own voice from sounding too loud
in your head.
What’s the smallest bone in the human body?
Conveniently, that would be the stapes. It is one of three tiny bones
in the middle ear that convey sound from the outer ear to the inner
ear. Collectively called the ossicles, these bones are individually
known as the malleus, incus, and stapes. Those are Latin words for the
shapes the bones resemble: a hammer, anvil, and stirrup.
What’s the smallest organ in the human body?
You’ll find the pineal gland near the center of the brain, in a
groove between the hemispheres. It’s not an organ like those in the
abdominal cavity. It’s the human body’s smallest endocrine gland, and it
produces melatonin, a hormone (derived from serotonin) that affects how
we sleep, wake up, and react to seasonal changes. It’s called pineal
because it’s shaped like a little pinecone.
What’s the smallest blood vessel in the human body?
<span>Capillaries, the smallest, thinnest-walled blood vessels in the body,
connect veins and arteries. They can be as small as 5-10 micrometers
wide — or 50 times thinner than a baby’s hair. Each of us contains about
10 billion of them, with the average adult body containing about 25,000
miles of capillaries.</span>
1. The oxygen requirements of an animal cannot be met by the process of diffusion as diffusion is a very slow process. To overcome this, multicellular organisms have specialized cells and tissues for performing various necessary functions of the body such as intake of oxygen and food.
2. What criteria do we use to decide whether something is alive? Any visible movement such as walking, breathing, or growing is generally used to decide whether something is alive or not. However, a living organism can also have movements, which are not visible to the naked eye.
3. An organism uses outside raw materials mostly in the form of food and oxygen. The raw materials required by an organism can be quite varied depending on the complexity of the organism and its environment.
4. The various processes essential for maintaining life are nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion, control and coordination.

The leaves of the plant compared to the plants around it are bigger because they are being token care of and watered and fed while the others take care of them selves also they are different types of plants :)
Distillation is a process of separation of two liquids on the basis of their difference in the boiling points. There are two types of distillation process- Microscale distillation and miniscale distillation depending on the type of apparatus used for distillation.
In case of microscale distillation, microscale apparatus is used when the volume of liquid to be distilled is less than 5 ml. Whereas, in case of miniscale distillation, miniscale apparatus is used when the volume of liquid is more than 5 ml.
Hickman distilled head is used for microscale distillation whereas a bit larger vessels are used in miniscale distillation.
Micorscale and miniscale techniques have their own advantages. Both these techniques are cost effective, use less equipments and environmental friendly. Miniscale distillation is used yields more product which is easy to measure. Microscale distillation are difficult but it avoids large cumbersome distillation process and instruments.
