to amonia questionIt is not medically harmful to spend time with someone who is secreting amonia and although this is upsetting, this will not harm you. However, the person you are spending this amount of time each day is quite sick from serious liver disease as I am sure you know. The stress of the situation can run you down if you do not find a way to care for yourself during this difficult time. I hope for the best for each of you - GiGi APRN, BC

How does an ecosystem produce energy?

The energy produced by an ecosystem is consumed by its inhabitants, you have to think of it like a circle. Start with plants who use water, sunshine, and nutrients from the soil and produce oxygen and a food source ( energy ) for living herbavores, who in turn eat the plants ( promoting growth, spreading pollen, and opening up the canopy for sun to penetrate ), breathe oxygen and release CO2 which is used by plants, and excrete nutrients for the soil. These animals are in turn eaten by carnivores who do the same but keep the numbers of herbavores in check so that the plants are not over grazed, Insects feed on the waste and convert it further into a useable food source for the plants and provide a food source for birds and reptiles. In an ecosystem each component provides for the needs of the other creating a balance where nothing is wasted. Water is a non renewable resource in the chain that must be provided from the outside in all cases except in a sealed ecosystem where evaporation is recollected as rainfall or in condensation. Solar energy is used by the plants for photosynthesis. I had an aquarium that worked like a marine ecosystem, the fish excreted amonia and used oxygen, the plants gave off oxygen, used the amonia and CO2 to grow and a controlled growth of algae consumed the extra nitrates in a bio wheel to keep the water liveable for the fish. I needed to add food for the fish so that they would not eat too much of the plants and water to make up for evaporation but otherwise it was self sustaining. It is important however not to tip the scales in the favor of any one of the elements for risk of throwing off the balance. I.E. too many fish will create too much waste and use too much oxygen for the rest of the system to compensate for.


How do fertilizers and pesticides affect wildlife and rivers?

The basic ingredients of fertilizer are N.P.K. Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium ( other minor nutrients are added depending on the blend). These chemicals can become toxic at high levels especially depending on the Nitrogen source ( Urea, Amonia, etc.), aquatic plants and algae thrive on nitrogen same as all other plants and will cause the algae bloom to be out of control like at most Golf courses. Oxygen levels and PH can be out of control and make the water unsuitable for animal survival. These things can make the use of other chemicals to counteract the effect necessary which are also toxic.


What are the ingredients of the Human Body?

The human body's basic ingredients are water, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, ions, salt, bases, acids, carbon-dioxide, and hydrogen peroxide. The human body is made up of 2/3's of water and has enough iron to make a 3 inch nail. The human body's total amount of water can fill a 10 gallon tank. The human body has three basic elements. Oxygen (61% or 43kg), carbon (23% or 16kg), and hydrogen (10% or 7kg). The human body contains 8 pints of blood. If you were to somehow remove all of the DNA from a single sell and lay it all down by the ends, it would be 6 feet in length. To be as close as science will let us and in an elemental sense, the average adult male, 5'11", 167lbs, is composed of: water 35 liters, carbon 20kg, amonia 4 liters, lime 1.5kg phosphorus 800g, salt 250g, saltpeter 100g sulfur 80g, fluorine 7.5g, iron 5g, silicon 3g, and 15 other trace amounts of other elements.
