Answer:

Positron emission tomography (PET)

Explanation:

Positron emission tomography (PET) consists of the measurement of the physiological function by inspecting the flow of the blood, metabolic functions, radiolabelled drugs, and neurotransmitters. PET provides quantitative analyses making it possible to monitor relative changes as time passes, keeping control of the progress of a disease or how the person reacts to a stimulus. To do it, the person receives a low quantity of a radioactive tracer into his/her organism via injection.

Answer:ATP, Endergonic, Phosphate group, ATP synthase, Exergonic

Explanation:

1. ATP is the energy currency of the cell. The energy released from the hydrolysis of ATP is use to drive cellular work.

2. ATP are used to drive endergonic reaction. Endergonic reaction are energy requiring hence ATP is hydroxyze to release energy to power endergonic reaction.

3.ATP is formed when a phosphate group is transferred to ADP. Which is an example of endergonic reaction

ADP+Pi+free energy→ATP+H2O.

4. The oxidative phosphorylation of ADP to ATP is catalyze by the enzyme ATP synthase.

5. ATP synthesis is an endergonic reaction in which free energy is needed to phosphorylate ADP to ATP and the reaction is driven by Exergonic reaction.

If you forget your water bottle when you go for a long walk on a warm day, what signal would most likely be sent to your kidneys
Nitella [24]

When we drink less water or we are dehydrated the body will compensate for 1-2% of the total amount of water by creating a sensation of thirst. The kidneys, brain, hormones and glands work in co-ordination monitoring the amount of water consumed to the amount of water lost.

The hypothalamus gland regulates the temperature of our body and balances the processes to control the amount of fluids in body. On detecting less amount of water in blood the hypothalamus gives signals for releasing the anti-diuretic hormone which causes kidneys to remove lesser amount of water from the blood. As a result of this we urinate less and the urine is concentrated dark in appearance. The brain also signals to consume water or liquid to bring the hydration level of the body to normal.
