Two of these options are correct (A & E)

So, the correct option is D.

<h3>About ADH/Vasopressin:</h3>
  • Other name for ADH is arginine vasopressin.
  • It is a hormone produced by the brain's hypothalamus and kept in the posterior pituitary gland.
  • It instructs the kidneys on how much water to hold onto.
  • The amount of water in your blood is continuously regulated and balanced by ADH.
  • Your blood's volume and pressure increase with higher water concentration.
  • ADH helps to sustain water metabolism along with osmotic sensors and baroreceptors.
  • The concentration of particles in your blood causes osmotic sensors in the hypothalamus to respond.
  • Carbon dioxide, sodium, potassium, chloride, and other chemicals are among these particles.
  • These sensors and baroreceptors tell your kidneys to store or release water to maintain a healthy range of these substances when particle concentration is out of balance or blood pressure is too low.
  • They also control how thirsty your body feels.
  • The particular nerve cells that make anti-diuretic hormone are located in the hypothalamus, a region at the base of the brain.
  • The hormone is sent by the nerve cells to the posterior pituitary gland, where it is released into the bloodstream, via their nerve fibers (axons).
  • By influencing the kidneys and blood arteries, anti-diuretic hormone aids in maintaining blood pressure.
  • Its primary function is to decrease the volume of water excreted in the urine, so conserving your body's fluid volume.
  • This is achieved by permitting a specific region of the kidney to enable water from the urine to be reabsorbed into the body.
  • As a result, the bloodstream is replenished with more water, urine concentration increases, and water loss is decreased.

<h3> Aquaporins and ADH:</h3>
  • Antidiuretic hormone levels above a certain threshold narrow (constrict) blood arteries, raising blood pressure.
  • The only way to fully recover from a lack of bodily fluid (dehydration) is by drinking more water.
  • The aquaporin 2 protein is made according to instructions from the AQP2 gene.
  • The water molecules are transported across cell membranes by this protein, which creates a channel.
  • Collecting ducts, a network of tiny tubes that reabsorb water from the kidneys into the bloodstream, are found in the kidneys where it is discovered.
  • In order to keep the body's water balance in check, the aquaporin 2 water channel is crucial.
  • A hormone known as vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone regulates the positioning of these channels (ADH).
  • The body creates more ADH when the amount of fluid consumed is low or when there is a lot of fluid loss (for instance, through sweating).
  • Aquaporin 2 water channels are ultimately inserted into the membrane of collecting duct cells by this hormone, which sets off chemical events.
  • Due to the re-absorption of water into the bloodstream made possible by these channels, the urine is more concentrated.
  • Less ADH is created when fluid intake is sufficient. Aquaporin 2 water channels are taken out of the collecting duct cells' membrane in the absence of signals from ADH.
  • During these times, the urine is more diluted and less water is reabsorbed into the bloodstream.

Transport proteins in the cell membrane play an important role in cell transport by
Kaylis [27]

Answer:    Membrane transport proteins are specific and selective for the molecules they move, and they often use energy to catalyze passage. Also, these proteins transport some nutrients against the concentration gradient, which requires additional energy.

Which is an important difference between light-dependent (L-D) and light-independent (L-IND) reactions in photosynthesis? The L-
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer;

The L-D reactions require light energy and water, and the L-IND reactions require ATP, NADPH and CO2.

Explanation;

-Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use light energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide to make organic molecules, such as simple sugars.

-The process takes place in two phases; light dependent stage and light independent stage.

-During light dependent stage light energy is used to break down water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms.

-Light independent reactions uses CO2 and the ATP and NADPH from light dependent reactions to produce sugar/ glucose. ATP is used to provide the energy for sugar synthesis and NADPH is used for electrons in the reduction of Carbon Dioxide into sugar.

enyata [817]

Answer:

Because the biodiversity decreases.

Explanation:

An ecosystem is richer when it has a higher biodiversity, remember that each living thing has an specific role in the food web. When in an ecosystem this web is bigger, increases the probability of sustain a living thing. For example, in the sea, if there is a fish, this is going to be more probabilities of survive if this fish can eat different plants or other fish. But if in the ecosystem there are not a variety of them, it probability to survive is less if one of it food desapear.

Do you think it is possible for scientists to incorporate chloroplasts into the skin cells of humans? What would this mean for h
Alisiya [41]

Similarly to mitochondria on which the animals and fungi rely upon, the chloroplasts are the solar-power plants of the plant cell. With the advancement in the field of genetics and biotechnology, it may be feasible for scientists to incorporate chloroplasts into human skin cells. However, there may be few issues, which the human beings would have to encounter with, these are as follows:  

1. The immune system of the humans may attack the chloroplasts, but maybe they would be safe if they are present within the cell.  

2. As the skin of the humans would be undergoing the process of photosynthesis, then they would have to be in green color, thus, the melanocytes of the skin would have to be engineered in order to generate another pigment.  

3. The humans may get skin cancer and sunburns when they would be out feeding on sunlight, that is, the ultraviolet part of the sunlight would cause the destruction of the living cells.  

4. In order to undergo the reaction of photosynthesis, the humans would require more water than usually required by a normal human being, and this could be a disadvantage in a desert surrounding.  

5. The process would not help to generate much energy for an active species like humans, as the daily energy requirements for a human being would be attained by absorbing around 10000 kJ of energy, that is, around 150 hours in a day of sitting in the Sun, which is impossible.
