What is happening in a fish tank if amonia is building up

Biology

Ratling [72]3 years ago

There are two things that occur in aquarium ammonia chemisty. 1. the build up of natural ammonia and nitrate in the water. 2. displacement of oxygen in the water caused by the ammonia. This is a very real threat especially when you have a new tank that is still cycling or when the biological filter has been upset or removed.

Look for these main symptoms if you suspect ammonia poisoning in your fish tank:
-loss of appetite
-lethargic fish
-fish gasping for air/breath at the top of the water
-fish laying at the bottom of the tank
-red/purple gills
-red streaking on the fish's body
- fins becoming torn and jagged
-scales on fish falling off or turning black

Histamine is a chemical substance released in inflammatory and allergic responses. The histamine H1 receptor on target cells is
grin007 [14]

Answer:

-Histamine binds extracellularly to the H1 receptor.

-When histamine binds to the H1 receptor. the receptor undergoes a conformation change and binds the inactive G protein.

-Once the G protein is active, it binds to the enzyme phospholipase C, activating it.

-Histamine is likely hydrophilic.

When histamine encounters a target cell, it binds extracellularly to the H1 receptor, causing a change in the shape of the receptor. This change in shape allows the G protein to bind to the H1 receptor, causing a GTP molecule to displace a GDP molecule and activating the G protein. The active G protein dissociates from the H1 receptor and binds to the enzyme phospholipase C, activating it. The active phospholipase C triggers a cellular response. The G protein then functions as a GTPase and hydrolyzes the GTP to GDP. The G protein dissociates from the enzyme and is inactive again and ready for reuse.
