When blood volume increases to the point that cardiac cells are stretched, the heart releases what natriuretic hormone?

1 answer:

4 0

The answer to this question would be: Brain Natriuretic Peptide(BNP) and or Atrial Natriuretic Peptide(ANP)

Both BNP and ANP can be found in heart tissue. But BNP is more frequently used because its level is higher, thus the laboratory result could be better. Both BNP and ANP has diuretic, natriuretic and antihypertensive effect that can counter the fluid overload in congestive heart failure. That is why they are secreted when the cells are stretched.

Where are the richest deposits of oil and natural gas most likely located?

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) Continental shelves</em>

Explanation:

The continental shelf can be described as a part of a continent which is submerged in shallow water. This shallow water is known as a shelf. Hence, the name continental shelves.

Rich deposits of oil and natural gas can be present in this part of the sea. The continental shelves are of extreme commercial significance and are a commercial site for exploitation. The continental shelves can be rich in metallic and non- metallic ores and hydrocarbon products.

What is the relationship between structure and function of molecules

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

PS:Can I be brainliest.

Have a nice day

Explanation:

Each molecule has a characteristic size and shape that determines its function in the living cell. The shapes of molecules are determined by the positions of the atoms' orbitals. When an atom forms covalent bonds, the orbitals in its valence shell are rearranged.

How do microscopes differ in magnification and resolution?

Verizon [17]

1.Magnification is the ability of optical instruments, such as a telescope or a microscope, to make an object bigger while resolution is the ability of optical instruments to produce images that are clearer, finer, and sharper.

2.Resolution is the power of an optical instrument to capture and produce more details of an image while magnification is the power of an instrument to create and produce a much larger image of an object.

3.Resolution can be expressed in arcsec or seconds while magnification can be expressed by a whole number and the letter “X.”

4.Although both are dependent upon each other, a high magnification does not always guarantee a high resolution.

5.Magnification allows us to see small objects, especially those that are not visible to the naked eye, while resolution allows us to see these objects more clearly and with more details.

Basic body color for horses is influenced by several genes, one of which has several different alleles. Two of these alleles— th

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

<h2>No,</h2><h2>Phenotypic Ratio: 1 Chestnut : 2 Palomino : 1 Dilute</h2>

Explanation:

As given:

The chestnut (dark brown) allele and a diluting (pale cream) alleles show incomplete dominance, means that both the alleles in heterozygous condition show their effect. So the heterozygous show the phenotype which is intermediate of both the parents, here a horse heterozygous for these two alleles is a palomino.

There is in fact, no particular allele present for palomino, this phenotype only results due to having two different alleles for a gene. So, palominos can never be pure-breeding because they can never be homozygous.

Let P1 chestnut and P2 dilute,

Palomino is P1P2

The Punnett’s Square for palomino mated to palomino:

P1P2× P1P2

Gametes are: parent-1 P1 and P2 , parent-2: P 1 and P2

Progeny are: P1P1, P1P 2, P 2 P1, P2 P2

Genotypic Ratio: 1 P1P 1 : 2 P1P 2 : 1 P2P 2

Phenotypic Ratio: 1 Chestnut : 2 Palomino : 1 Dilute

“Grass is a monocotyledon plant, herbaceous plants with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places.
