1. Although the state of Florida receives a lot of rainfall, about 61 percent of that water leaves the ground by evaporation and transpiration, and another 38 percent is ‘lost’ into the Atlantic Ocean & Gulf of Mexico, thus leaving only 1 percent of the rainfall water available for drinking and other human use. 

 2. Florida has a very vast underground water system, known as the Floridan aquifer system; for this reason, Florida is the source of drinking water to four other states. These states are South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. The Floridan underground water system is made up of the Upper and Lower Floridan aquifers.

3. Residents of the state of Florida wanted to get rid of the water in certain areas of the state because there was too many wetlands, they experienced frequent flooding which posed a great measure of difficulty in navigating the state.

4. One negative result of the changes made by people in order to get rid of the ‘excess’ water in Florida was groundwater depletion which has led to the drying up of wells, decrease in water level in streams and lakes, reducing quality of water and land subsidence.

5. One thing that has been done to try and improve those mistakes is Rainwater harvesting; a method which is often used to replenish ground water. Using the rainwater harvesting approach, an outlet pipe is connected from the rooftop and used to divert the rainwater to existing wells.

A) ADH

B) aldosterone

C) atrial natriuretic hormone

D) oxytocin

E) prolactin

The correct answer is B.

Women have a tendency to retain water during part of the menstrual cycle because estrogen mimics the action of <u>aldosterone</u>.

Explanation:

The female sex hormones produced by the ovary (estrogens and progesterone) are substances that, through the blood, will carry messages to all the organs of the female genital system (uterus, tubes and ovaries) to achieve their correct function. Aldosterone concentration normally increases at the time of ovulation and remains elevated during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Women present during the premenstrual phase, compared to the luteal and follicular phases, an increase in body weight, due to an increase in fluid retention, this because the menstrual cycle modulates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. High levels of estrogen and progesterone in the mid-luteal phase are associated with a greater increase in adrenal and renal hormones and retention of more volume.
