Oil makes it impossible for fur-bearing mammals to insulate<span>, this leaves them unprotected from the harsh elements out in the water. Birds and mammals will die from hypothermia without the ability to insulate from the freezing water.
I hope this helps you! :-)</span>
Generally, the rate of a reaction will decrease with increasing temperature, although there are some exceptions in the case of non-elementary reactions. However it is more likely that the first statement is false.
Half-life is a measure of the time taken for a to reach 1/2 of its initial concentration, and is generally completely independent of reagent concentration within a first order reaction, which is likely what this reaction is, therefore statement 2 is also likely false.
Hope this helps!
Hello Lilsavage717, I believe the answer you are looking for is C. or Amino Acids. They are mainly located in living things like plants or bugs.
