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.

Answer:

membrane potential; ion channels; integral membrane; electrochemical gradient; negative; positive; concentration; channel gating; repel; attract

Explanation:

Ion diffusion depends on the membrane potential which is the separation of electrical charge across the plasma membrane. To begin, ions diffuse across plasma membranes by passing through ion channels formed by integral membrane proteins. Thus, in determining ion flux, both the concentration difference and the membrane potential, collectively known as the electrochemical gradient, must be considered. For example, most cells have a net negative charge inside with respect to the outside, so there is an electrical force attracting positive ions into the cell. Ion diffusion also depends on the concentration gradient that exists for that ion across the plasma membrane. Finally, ion flux across the plasma membrane can be altered by opening or closing ion channels, which is a process known as channel gating. Electrical charges of the same sign, both positive or both negative, repel each other, while opposite charges attract.
