Elden [556K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Inhibits the release of ADH

Explanation:

Diuretic may be defined as any compound that has the ability to decrease the urine output and ultimately the consumption of water in the body. Diuretics are generally used to treat the medical condition like hypertension.

Diuretic substance decreases the release of ADH hormone in the body.  Alcohol has the ability to acts as a diuretic because it inhibits the release of ADH and urine output in the organism.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

Which of the following statements is the most likely explanation for plant withering due to leaky membranes in cold temperatures
podryga [215]

Answer:

C. H+ ions do not accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Explanation:

Plant withering refers to the virtual death of plant cells due to lack of food. During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ATP needed for the synthesis of sugar (food) is created in the thylakoid membrane of the CHLOROPLAST of plant cells.

In the light-dependent reaction, hydrogen ions (H+) builds up/accumulate in the thylakoid lumen to create an electrochemical or proton gradient i.e. a difference in the concentration of H+ ions across the membrane. The hydrogen ions passes through a protein complex called ATP synthase, which forms ATP from ADP (by adding phosphate group), from the energy generated by the electrochemical gradient formed as a result of hydrogen in (H+) build up.

Hence, a plant that possess leaky membrane due to the cold temperature will likely wither because H+ ions are not able to accumulate inside the thylakoid causing a proton gradient, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Which factors should scientists measure to learn how each<br> population changed over time?
Art [367]

Explanation:

C. How is the energy produced by respiration stored?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Energy produced by respiration is stored in Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration uses glucose and turns it into ATP. Using NADH and FADH₂ (Created in the Krebs Cycle) in the Electron Transport Chain, we can produce 32-38 molecules of ATP. ATP carries a lot of energy, and your cells and body uses ATP (ATP is basically like a large battery).
