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 <em>sea and oceans</em>. 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 <u>high temperatures</u> and this results in oxidation which creates <em>free radicals</em>, 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 <em>wind</em> 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 <u>seal and otter </u>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.
Free-living flat worms = carnivores or scavengers
Have digestive cavity, mouth, pharynx
Parasitic Flatworms: = Feed on blood, tissue fluids, or pieces of cells from within a host
Answer:
By panting or breathing heavily.
Explanation:
<em>An ectothermic animal is one whose body temperature depends on the temperature of the external environment.</em>
The body of ectotherms regulates temperature depending on the temperature of the external environment where such animal finds itself.
Hence, when the temperature of the external environment rises as a result of hot air, the body of an ectotherm (that is homeothermic, that is, maintain a relatively constant body temperature irrespective of the temperature of the external environment) will adjust so as to keep its temperature relatively constant.
Dogs generally pant (breathe heavily) to bring their body temperature back to normal whenever it rises beyond normal due to rigorous physical activities or high external temperature.
<em>Hence, a fox will most likely pant in response to hot air temperature just like dogs.</em>
Answer:
Does not take up the stain.
Explanation:
Negative staining refers to the process wherein the unstained specimen is visualized under the darkly stained background.
One of the examples is capsule staining wherein the capsulated cells are stained with India ink or nigrosin dyes. The particles of these dyes stain the background blue-black but cannot enter the capsule.
Hence, the light-colored capsulated cells are visualized in the midst of the blue-black background.
Photosynthesis takes place in B. In chloroplasts because that's where the plant's green color is produced.
