The structural components of the mammalian nephron where the transcytosis of water increases due to the action of anti-diuretic hormone is/are the collecting duct. ADH is a hormone made by the hypothalamus in the brain and stored in the posterior pituitary gland. It acts on renal collecting ducts via V2 receptors to increase water permeability, which leads to decreased urine formation. This increases blood volume, cardiac output and arterial pressure.
Answer – B (Electrons)
When atoms combine, their nucleons fuse to produce a new nucleus and interactions occur between their electrons, particularly the outer valence electrons. The interaction between the outer valence electrons of the combining atoms forms bonds between them.
1) B
(I'm not so sure of this one) All of the other options have a steady impact on population regardless of the density of organisms except competition
2) D
Increased carbon dioxide levels would not hinder plant growth, and tsunamis aren't really linked to carbon dioxide levels. Increased carbon dioxide is unlikely to lower the air temperature so only D is left.
3) A
4) Three properties of water that allow it to sustain life are that it is adhesive, it is a good solvent, and cohesion. Adhesion is important in situations such as water travelling up xylem tubes in plants so that the water is not pulled down by gravity and can reach parts of the plant that need water. Cohesion allows the water being pulled up the xylem to stay together and for water molecules to be pulled when a neighbouring one is moved. Water being a good solvent allows inorganic minerals to be taken with water through vascular tissue, such as in the previous example.
Answer:
An inflammation of the vagina most commonly caused by Candida, called <u>candidiasis</u>, is characterized by some degree of vaginal itching; however, <u>candidiasis</u> does not appear to induce vaginal inflammation and is most likely due to a reduction in Lactobacillus species.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
This ensures that the research is corroborated by other scientists and is peer-reviewed hence increasing the veracity of the findings. This also ensures that conflict of interest is addressed whereby the findings by the company may appear to be compromised or biased because such a finding would be in favour of their own needs (such as financial gain). Peer review in such case is even more important because it involves humans subjects and ethics are paramount in healthcare research.
