What plants survived after the Ordovician-Silurian extinction? What are the producers in an aquatic ecosystem? What are some plant adaptations for living in the grasslands? What plants absorb the most nitrates? What are examples of herbaceous plants?
The plant roots take up the nitrates, trace minerals and nutrients from the water. The roots help to filter the water which is returned back to the fish. The water is continuously recirculating so plants are constantly receiving warm nutrient rich water resulting in tremendous growth. ...
If you've ever wondered why your outdoor plants seem happier after a rain than they do when you turn a sprinkler on them, there's a reason for that: Lightning electrifies atmospheric nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) to reconfigure them into ammonia (NH3) and nitrates (NO3). This falls to...
When smoked foods are cooked at high temperatures, the nitrates are converted to the much more dangerous nitrites. [Note: By pickled foods we don’t mean the fermented foods you make at home.] Soda and Carbonated Beverages: Sodas have been at the center of the health debate for two ...
What pigment do cyanobacteria need to make food? What is the largest bacteria? Do amoebas need oxygen? What are the characteristics of true bacteria? What does marine bacteria do? What bacteria converts ammonia into nitrates? Is cyanobacteria a type of phytoplankton?
Nitrates are also absorbed by aquatic plants and algae during their growth processes. A pond without aquatic plants will prove to be a maintenance nightmare. For any biological filtration to work, there literally needs to be billions of bacteria working to purify the water. They prefer to anchor...
‘Why, why, do these plants eat insects?’ asked the humans, and Professor responded that it is because these plants lack the capacity to absorb the nitrates from the soil, so they get this essential nutrient from the insects. By now, the wildflowers could hear the humans better, as many...
This accumulation eventually makes the water toxic for the fish. Bacteria are introduced, called nitrifying bacteria. The bacteria convert toxic ammonia into nitrites, and then nitrates. The water is circulated into the hydroponics system, where the roots of the plants use these nitrates (and other...
Phosphates and nitrates are used as fertilizers because they provide plants with the nourishment they need for growth. In lakes and ponds, these same chemicals are classified as pollutants. Why? A scientist wonders if the wastewater...
Some sex pills contain ingredients that can affect muscle tone, while others do not have such ingredients at all. For instance, supplements that include testosterone boosters or other related compounds may help maintain or increase muscle mass. A well-toned physique, which contributes to general hea...
