Polar compounds in petrolium
refinement of oil
petrolium is fractionally distilled by boiling point, gassoiline come sout first, then diesel

backterial oil digestion of alkanes
NADHO2 adds an alcholol group to the end of an alkane, which is converted into an aldehyde, then a carboxylic acid. Then the CoA enzyme creates a new double bond. a new OH group attacks that bond to form a ketone, and CoA attacks again forming a new carboxyilic acid, removing the end and starting the process all over again

Effects of oil spills
Aromatic compounds are highly toxic and highly water soluble, the oil also ruins bird insulation, causing them to die of hypothermia or direct ingestion during preening.
