The hormone vasopressin stimulates the kidneys to retain water.

Vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland and acts on the nephron tubules which increase the reabsorption of water, thus decreasing water content in urine while increasing that of blood.

The increase in water concentration in the blood elevates blood pressure as well as blood volume which makes the urine concentrated.

It regulates the tonicity of body fluids and therefore, in response to hypertonicity stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb solute-free water and return it to the circulation from the tubules of the nephron, thus restoring the tonicity of the body fluids toward normal.

How do you know if something is an enzyme based on its spelling
mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts which are protein in nature. There are two types of naming enzymes:

<h3>Trivial naming</h3>

This method involves giving enzymes names based on the names of the persons who discovered them. The names of such enzymes end with the suffix-in, for example, pepsin, trypsin. Some of these names have been retained to date.

Enzyme Nomenclature by Enzyme Commission

This is the modern method of naming enzymes. The suffix-ase is added to the substrate or the reaction which the enzymes catalyses. Every enzyme code consists of the letters "EC" followed by the enzyme. For example

EC 1 oxidoreductases- oxidoreduction reactions

EC 2 transferases- transfer of a functional group

EC 3 hydrolases- catalyse hydrolytic cleaving

EC 4 lyases - adding groups to double bonds. e.g., C-C,C-O

EC 5 isomerases - catalyse structural changes in a molecule

EC 6 ligases - joining of two molecules
