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

Biology
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago
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

What role does transpiration play in the water cycle
Airida [17]

Transpiration is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. Transpiration is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves. Transpiration also includes a process called guttation, which is the loss of water in liquid form from the uninjured leaf or stem of the plant, principally through water stomata.

Studies have revealed that about 10 percent of the moisture found in the atmosphere is released by plants through transpiration. The remaining 90 percent is mainly supplied by evaporation from oceans, seas, and other bodies of water (lakes, rivers, streams).

Transpiration and plant leaves

Plants put down roots into the soil to draw water and nutrients up into the stems and leaves. Some of this water is returned to the air by transpiration (when combined with evaporation, the total process is known as evapotranspiration). Transpiration rates vary widely depending on weather conditions, such as temperature, humidity, sunlight availability and intensity, precipitation, soil type and saturation, wind, land slope, and water use and diversion by people. During dry periods, transpiration can contribute to the loss of moisture in the upper soil zone, which can have an effect on vegetation and food-crop fields.

kenny6666 [7]
<span>If a child takes large steps which exceeds his or her length, it may mean that he is more advanced or he simply has more walking experience than a normal length walking child.

Increased step length it shows a sign of improvement in the development of walking. In addition, I can say that large steps are reflected more strength and also balance than he had previously been supposed for the infants who are training themselves on how to walk.</span>
