The answer is B) The rapid extinction of top-level consumers in the Gulf food webs, such as sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles.

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is the largest in the history of the oil industry. The oil spill created a large layer of floating oil patch over the gulf waters. This layer of oil blocked the exchange of gases like oxygen in the water. The top-level consumers like the dolphins, sharks and sea turtles that need to surface to breath fresh air got coated with the oil and perished.

B is correct

The rapid extinction of top-level consumers in the Gulf food webs, such as sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles. There will be some initial death after an oil spill, but not the rapid extinction of animals. We would expect to see slow, long-term effects of a large oil spill; effects that are the result of lingering oil under the sand, in marshes and wetlands, and covering undersea coral reefs.

How does a gradient of a river affect its flow

KengaRu [80]

The flow of a river is the amount of water in the river. ... Likewise, the steeper theriver's gradient, the faster the flow of water (due to the pull of water down the gradientby gravity). Likewise, lower gradients would result in slower flows of theriver.

Alika [10]

Answer:

An isometric training is a static contraction of a muscle.

Explanation:

An isometric training is a type of exercise which involves the static contraction of a muscle where no visible movement in the angle of the joint occur. Isometric exercises helps in maintaining and recovery of strength of our body. They can also build strength, but not very effectively like other exercises. During isometric training, the muscles doesn't change its length and the affected joint doesn't move from its place.

enzymes that move certain phospholipids between leaflets have also which of the following properties?A. play a role establishing

laiz [17]

Answer:

A. play a role establishing and maintaining membrane lipid asymmetry

Explanation:

Proteins that move move certain phospholipids between leaflets are transmembrane proteins via "flip-flop" transition have also the possibility to maintain membrane lipid asymmetry. There are few types of such proteins:

flipases-move lipids from the exterior to the interior side of the membrane, energy required
flopases-move lipids in reverse comparing to flipases, energy required
scramblases-no energy required, bidirectional

Because of the action of those proteins, cytosolic side of plasma membrane differs from exoplasmic side (asymmetry).
