Her hypothalamus will secrete vasopressin. If her dehydration becomes severe, her secretion of vasopressin will increase.

<h3>What is vasopressin?</h3>
  • The posterior pituitary gland releases the peptide hormone vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone.
  • Which is produced by the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus (neurohypophysis).
  • It primarily functions as an anti-diuretic in the kidney, where it causes the body to reabsorb water by acting on the distal region of the nephron when it is dehydrated.
  • The AVP gene for it is found on human chromosome 20.
  • Vasopressin has an antidiuretic effect; it reduces the volume of urine by raising the collecting tube's water permeability.
  • It attaches to the G protein-coupled V2 receptor, which in turn starts a signaling cascade through the PKA.
  • Aquaporin 2 (a transmembrane pore) is produced as a result, and it is then transported to the apical/urinary membrane.

Investigate substances containing carbon or oxygen that relate to biological processes. Explain their main function in those pro
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Well, you already have the answer, but I can try to elaborate XD

So, DNA: contains genetic information that is necessary for biological functioning and reproduction.

More specifically, it contains the genetic instructions through gene encoding that instructs the cell what to do. A specialized complex ribosome interacts with the DNA molecules and "reads" it, changing the genes from the DNA into proteins that the cell as a whole can function upon. It is also crucial to forming a whole cell in offspring, since only the genes from the two parents combined (in humans at least) can produce an offspring with all genes intact. Those who do not have genetic disorders, a famous one being Down Syndrome.

Next, RNA: a molecule necessary for expressing genes and making proteins.

Connecting to the paragraph above for DNA, RNA also assists in the process by reading the ribosome that reads the DNA itself. Complicated, I know. All you have to know, however, is that the RNA, in this case called mRNA since it serves as a messenger, hence, the "m", reads the codons produced by the ribosome when it reads the DNA, and makes proteins according to those codons, and those proteins then scatter all across the cell to execute instructions.

Now, we move onto nitrogen and phosphorous: both are found in amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.

That is actually partially wrong. Amino acids do not contain phosphorous, but do contain nitrogen. Not exactly sure what went wrong on your end there, but nitrogen is a basic building block for amino acids, which are basic building blocks themselves for proteins. To be more clear, amino acids are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms. No phosphorus there!

Finally, enzymes: special proteins that accelerate chemical reactions in cells.

This is correct. Enzymes typically lower the activation energy required for reactions to happen. More specifically, enzymes make the reaction molecules more active, hence, lowering the threshold for the amount of energy you have to put in before the molecules start crashing into each other hard enough to have a chemical reaction. Of course, enzymes do not participate in the reaction itself, which makes them incredibly useful for spurring on chemical reactions since they can be used multiple times.

Yes i know the answer is long

ididnt know how big or small you wanted it

so......yea

hope it helps

Do you think there is a relationship between heart rate and blood flow?
zaharov [31]

Yes, there is a relationship between heart rate and blood flow.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The relation ship between the heart rate and blood flow is that with the increase in heart rate, the flow of the blood also increases but the increase in the flow of the blood is not as fast as the rate of beating of heart increases in comparsion.

Even though the heart is beating more times in a minute, healthy blood vessels get larger amount of blood to flow in an easier way when heart beat gets faster.
