Hypersecretion of ________ results in increased urinary output and dehydration.

Biology
1 answer:
Butoxors [25]3 years ago
3 0
The correct answer is "atrial natriuretic peptide" or "ANP". ANP is secreted by the the atria and the muscle cells of the heart. ANP primarily functions to increase sodium excretion (hence the term natriuretic) which facilitates osmotic diuresis, since there will be a high amount of solute in the renal tubules, this will exert an osmotic force that draws water and facilitate diuresis. This will eventually result to increased urinary output and dehydration.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is  D. maintain membrane fluidity through its disruption of fatty acid packing.

Explanation:

<u>Cholesterol</u> is a steroid lipid and is a constituent of biological membranes. It regulates the <em>fluidity</em> of the membrane (so, option C is not correct). Since cell membranes are composed of another type of lipids, the phospholipids, which form a bilayer, cholesterol distributes between the phospholipid tails and avoids these molecules pack each other forming rigid clusters. Thus, the option which better explains the effect is <em>D. maintain membrane fluidity through its disruption of fatty acid packing.</em>

Consider the abbreviated model of meiosis and the four gametes produced at the completion of meiosis II. Imagine that these game
den301095 [7]

The right answer is A) Trisomy

Aberrant karyotypes containing an abnormal number of chromosomes are known in the human species. The best-known (and most common) chromosomal abnormality is trisomy 21, which is responsible for Down syndrome (mongolism). There are others such as Turner syndrome (woman with a single X chromosome) or Klinefelter syndrome (man XXY).


These abnormalities originate from the non-disjunction of the chromosomes of a pair of homologues during metaphase I of meiosis. At the end of division I, a daughter cell contains the two chromosomes of the pair considered and the other cell does not contain a chromosome of this pair. A similar result can be obtained during a bad distribution of chromatids during anaphase II.


After fertilization from a gamete of this type, a trisomy or a monosomy is obtained.
