<span>Vasopressin, or the other name Anti Diuretic Hormone (ADH), has the action of causing the opposite (anti) of a diuretic. I.e., it causes the body to retain sodium, thus retaining water. This has many physiological effects, the majority of which focus around enabling the body to maintain homeostasis when water intake or hydration levels drop.</span>
Biological macromolecules are important cellular components, they have a wide array of functions necessary for survival and growth of living organisms. There are four major classes of biological macromolecules
-carbohydrates
-lipids
-proteins
-nucleic acids.
Answer:
Symbiosis
Explanation:
Termites are the important insects due to its role in in nutrient recycling in the terrestrial ecosystems. Termites eat wood. The wood contain cellulose, a complex carbohydrate which is cannot be digested by most insects such as termites. For the breakdown and digestion of wood is carried out by the microorganisms present in the hindgut of the termites. The microbes live in the gut as a symbiont. The microbes break down cellulose into simple sugars and fatty acids which are easily absorbed into the cells of the termites.
There are choices for this question namely:
a) Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic.
b) Decadron is an antibiotic.
c) Bactrim is a bronchodilator.
d) Albuterol is a bronchodilator.
<span>e) Prednisone is a corticosteroid.

The correct answers are "ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic", "albuterol is a bronchodilator", and "prednisone is a corticosteroid". Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic in the class of fluoroquinolones, effective against respiratory infections since patients with COPD has mucus hypersecretion which predisposes the patient to respiratory infections. Other antibiotics include respiratory fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, cephalosporins such as cefuroxime and ceftriaxone, and beta-lactams such as co-amoxiclav. Albuterol is a short acting beta-agonist (SABA) which actions as a bronchodilator by relaxing bronchial smooth muscles. Other popular SABA is salbutamol. Prednisone is a corticosteroid which actions to prevent inflammation by blocking the arachidonic acid pathway and therefore block the formation of inflammatory mediators.
Decadron is dexamethasone which is a steroid. Bactrim is TMP/SMX which is an antibiotic.
