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

1 answer:

4 0

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

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf A. \ 51 \ mL}$

Explanation:

Amount of water displaced by the sphere will be equal to the volume of complete sphere.

As the sphere completely sinks to the bottom of the cup.

We have been given;

Diameter of sphere (d) = 4.6 cm

So,

$\sf Radius \: of \: sphere \: (r) = \frac{Diameter \: of \: sphere \: (d)}{2} \\ \sf = \frac{4.6}{2} \\ \sf = 2.3 \: cm$

Volume of sphere (V):

$\boxed{ \bold{V = \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3} }}$

By substituting value of r we get:

$\sf \implies V = \frac{4}{3} \times \pi \times {(2.3)}^{3} \\ \\ \sf \implies V = \frac{4}{3} \times 3.14 \times 12.167 \\ \\ \sf \implies V = \frac{152.81752}{3} \\ \\ \sf \implies V = 50.94 \: {cm}^{3} \\ \\ \sf \implies V \approx 51 \: {cm}^{ 3}$

1 cm³ = 1 mL

$\therefore$

V = 51 mL

So,

Water displaced by the sphere = 51 mL

Total nucleic acids are extracted from a culture of yeast cells and are then mixed with resin beads to which the polynucleotide

mr Goodwill [35]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

(a)DNA (b)tRNA (c)rRNA (d)mRNA

Answer:

Option-mRNA

Explanation:

The mRNA is synthesized from the DNA and which is also a type of nucleic acid. When the nucleic acid is extracted from the yeasts and then mixed with the resin beads to which the polynucleotide with thymine base oar is attached.

The mRNA will bind to the resin bead as the mRNA after synthesis undergoes modification and attaches poly A tail to the end of the mRNA at 3' end.

This poly-A tail has adenine which easily binds to the thymine and thus mRNA easily attaches to the resin bead.

Thus, mRNA is correct.

What part of the frog does chytridiomycosis attack?

BigorU [14]

Various clinical signs are seen by individuals affected by the disease. A number of options are possible for controlling this disease-causing fungus, though none has proved to be feasible on a large scale. The disease has been proposed as a contributing factor to a global decline in amphibian populations that apparently has affected about 30% of the amphibian species of the world.<span>[3]</span>
