Carbon and the Carbon CycleThe element carbon is a basic constituent of all living organisms. Its atoms combine easily with other atoms to form a huge variety ofmolecules. Some of these (carbon dioxide, bicarbonate )have names which make it obvious they are carbon based, while others( glucose, coal ) you just have to remember.
All cells – whether animal, plant or bacteria – contain carbon because they all contain proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Plant cell walls for Example are made of cellulose, a carbohydrate.

Carbon and the Carbon Cycle
Living organisms need carbon in order to:
- Photosynthesis : Green plants get their carbon from thecarbon dioxide in the air, which enters the leaves and is used forenergy. A product of photosynthesis is glucose – anothercarbon-based compound.
- Eating : In animals glucose reacts with oxygen to produce energy -(with carbon dioxide as a by-product).
- Deoxyribonucleic Acid or DNA: Carbon compounds areessential cellular building-blocks.

The Nitrogen Cycle78% of the air around us is Nitrogen. Living things need nitrogen to make proteins, but they cannot get it directly from the air because nitrogen gas is too stable to react inside an organism to make new compounds.
So nitrogen must be changed into a more reactive formto allow plants and animals to use it. Plants can take up and use nitrogen when it is in the form of urea or ammonium salts. Changing nitrogen into a more reactive substance is
called nitrogen fixation.
![Page 27: The Carbon, Oxygen & Nitrogen Cycles](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061409/568152b7550346895dc0d956/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Nitrogen Fixation1. The energy in a lightening bolt can split the di-
atomicmolecule in the air allowing each nitrogen atom to reactwith oxygen to form nitrogen oxides. These oxides are washed to the ground by the rain
where
they form nitrates.
2. The nitrogen is used by industry to produceammonia from nitrogen. Ammonia is used to makefertilizer for farmers to feed their crops.
3. Bacteria found in the soil and in the root nodules of
leguminous plants fix nitrogen into a usable form.
![Page 28: The Carbon, Oxygen & Nitrogen Cycles](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061409/568152b7550346895dc0d956/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Nitrogen compounds are returned to the soil
bywastes and decay from animals or whenPlants and animals die and decay.
The nitrogen compounds returned in this way
are changed back to nitrogen gas bydenitrifying bacteria which live in the
soilthus completing the cycle.

Nitrogen Fixation-Bacteria are responsible for this process.
Nitrification-Plants receive the components of the "fixed" nitorgen using nitrates in the soil to provide the nutrients they need.
Assimilation -Plant roots assimilate Nitrogen mainly in the form of nitrates while animals assimilate their nitrogen by eating the plants.
Ammonification-Ammonia is formed in the soil by the decompostion of plants and animals and by the release of animal waste.
Denitrification-This is the reduction of nitrates to gaseous nitrogen. Denitrifying bacteria perform almost the reverse of the nitorgen fixing bacteria.
three major processes involved in the nitrogen cycle.
![Page 42: The Carbon, Oxygen & Nitrogen Cycles](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061409/568152b7550346895dc0d956/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Neither plants or animals can obtain nitrogen directly from the atmosphere. Instead, they depend on a process known as nitrogen fixation. Key players in this process are legumes and the symbiotic bacteria which are associated with the legume's root nodules. These bacteria are known as nitrogen-fixing bacteria. These organisms convert nitrogen in the soil to ammonia, which can then be taken up by plants. After nitrogen has been fixed, other bacteria convert it into nitrate, in a process known as nitrification. In the first step of this process, Nitrosomonas convert ammonia into nitrite, and in the second step, nitrite is converted into nitrate, by Nitrobacter. This nitrate is then consumed by plants.The final aspect of the nitrogen cycle is the process of denitrification. This process is performed by a variety of microscopic bacteria, fungi, and other organisms. Nitrates in the soil are broken down by these organisms, and nitrogen is released into the atmosphere. This complete the cycle.

What to do when you have a major water trouble.If your tank water becomes tremendously unbalanced, some symptoms may be observed before even testing and finding out so:-water goes cloudy-fish stomach indents-fish become sickIf you see these symptoms, test the water immediately. If the water is truly bad, here are some steps that can be taken:-Do a mandatory 35% water change-Add zeolite and carbon to your fish filter (as seen in picture)
Do 25% water changes weekly until the levels return back to normal

Waste products decay into ammonia, and ammonia is a highly toxic substance to fish; it can in fact kill them relatively quickly, or cause them to go into shock (panting, hyperventilating, swimming erratically, laying in the sand, etc.).
