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.

e. one thing that could happen if all frogs suddenly died is that there would be an overpopulation of slugs, insects, and beetles. another thing that could happen would be that foxes would only rely on getting slugs for food so the slugs would soon go extinct and the plants would possibly over populate.

Which description of synapses is not correct? which description of synapses is not correct? second messengers can activate gene
LiRa [457]
The incorrect among the choices is "<span>direct signaling involves the activation of g proteins"

This is incorrect because direct signaling does not involve the activation of g proteins rather it involves the activation of ion channels resulting to either an excitation reaction (depolarization of the membrane) or an inhibition reaction (hyperpolarization of the membrane); and this will ultimately affect the action of the organ the nerve is innervating.</span>

Does anyone know this??
Mandarinka [93]

Bauxite ore is one of the primary source of aluminum but it must first be chemically processed to produce alumina (aluminum oxide). The next step of aluminum production is smelting of alumina using an electrolysis process (Hall-Heroult process). This electrolysis process is driven by electrical current. Electrolyte (molten salt) with immersed carbon anodes is used in order to dissolve the alumina. Carbon anodes are carrying electrical current and thee chemical bond between aluminum and oxygen in the alumina is broken.

What is the relationship between cell division and growth?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The relationship between cell division and cell growth is that cell division needs to occur for the cells to divide and grow individually.

Explanation:

cell division refers to the process by which the mother cells divides into two daughter cells and cell growth refers to the process by which the size of the cell increases as it grows. They are two different but important and interlinked processes in the cell cycle. They depend on each other as failure in one will lead to failure in the other process too. The cell needs to grow proper in order to divide and create more cells.
