<span>The juxtaglomerular cells near each kidney are stimulated to secrete the enzyme renin into the blood. Renin circulates throughout the body and converts angiotensinogen, made in the liver, into angiotensin I. In the lungs, angiotensin I is converted by hydrolysis to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II acts on the adrenal cortex to stimulate production of aldosterone. Aldosterone acts on the juxtaglomerular cells to increase sodium and water retention and to stimulate or depress further renin secretion, completing the feedback system that automatically readjusts homeostasis.</span>

Which statement best defines a protist?
Helga [31]
Protists obtain food in 3 ways. They produce their own organic molecules, ingest, and absorb.  Ingestive protists ingest food, or engulf bacteria. These protists extend their cell wall and cell membrane forming a food vacuole around the food item. Inside the food vacuole, enzymes digest the food. Absorptive protists on the other hand, absorb food molecules  across their cell membrane which takes place through diffusion. Absorptive protists play a key role in decomposition. They are considered as important decomposers. Major producers  like photosynthetic protists  use light energy to manufacture  their own food.<span>
