Answer:

True

Explanation:

One of the edocrine processes the kidney is involved in is called the RAAS (Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System) which is a signaling pathway involved in blood pressure control. It involves a number of hormones:

Angiotensinogen is produced by the liver in response tovarious inflammatory proteins

Renin is a protease produced by the kidneys in response tohypotension,

Angiotensin II increases blood pressure via a number of mechanisms:

Aldosterone acts to  increase reabsorption of Na+ and water and increase elimination of K+ and H+ in the distal tubules of the kidneys for ion concentration maintenance

3)far-red

Explanation:

The leaves at the top of a tree’s canopy are exposed to direct sunlight during the day, and their phytochromes will occur in a high *Pfr/Pr* ratio. Meanwhile, the leaves of the same tree at the bottom of the canopy are highly shaded during the day and will likely have a higher proportion of the * ( PHYTOCHROME )Pr *;form of phytochrome present due to exposure to a higher proportion of *FAR RED * light.

Plants make use of the phytochrome system to it's adjust growth based on the seasons. Through phytochrome plants is able to respond to the timing and duration of dark and light periods. At dawn, all the phytochrome molecules present in the leaved are converted to the active Pfr form until sunset this is because the sun is unfiltered, and unfiltered sunlight has high percentage of red light, but lower far-red light, with the help of phytochrome system , the plants is able to compare the length of dark periods over several days.
