How are hydrogen bonds different from covalent bonds?
Marrrta [24]
Hydrogen bonds differ from covalent bonds. Hydrogen bonds form due to the positive charge of a molecule being attracted to the negative charge of a water molecule.

This is due to water being a polar substance. Polar substances have covalent bonds where the electrons are shared unequally. This creates a slight charge at each end of the molecule. This charge is what creates a hydrogen bond between a water molecule and another molecule. Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds.

The solution is B.

Which of the following statements about aldosterone is NOT correct? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following statements abo
leonid [27]

Answer:

C. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption by increasing the number of Na+-K+ ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule.

Explanation:

The terminal part of distal convoluted tubules has two different types of cells: principal cells and intercalated cells. These cells are also present throughout the collecting duct. The principal cells serve to reabsorb Na+ and secrete K+ and have receptors for aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone (ADH).

The function of intercalated cells reabsorb HCO3 - and K+ and to secrete H+. Angiotensin II stimulates the adrenal cortex to release aldosterone which in turn stimulates the principal cells in the collecting ducts to reabsorb more Na+ and secrete more K+. The increased reabsorption of Na+ facilitates reabsorption of more water to increase blood volume and blood pressure.
