The answer would be: D) reduce blood pressure and blood volume by inhibiting sodium and water retention
<span>The natriuretic peptide is a hormone that will cause natriuresis, the excretion of sodium/natrium in the urine. The secretion of sodium will increase the urine output and decrease water content of the blood. this will result in reduced blood volume and reduced blood pressure.</span>
<u>Question</u>:
A substance that yields a cation plus the hydroxyl ion in water is a(n)
A) salt
B) acid
C) base
<u>Answer</u>:
A substance that yields a cation plus the hydroxyl ion in water is a(n) base.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Base is a substance that "donates electrons, accept protons, or releases hydroxide (OH-) ions" in aqueous solution .When a base is dissolved in water, it dissociates to give hydroxyl ions. Hydroxyl ion which is a negatively charged molecule and having one oxygen bonded to one hydrogen. In case of the base particles, when comes in contact with water becomes slippery as well as changes its colour. For bases, the pH value ranges from 8-14

Answer: It is necessary for the immune system to clearly distinguish foreign cells and proteins from those made by the body so that the immune system will be able to fight foreign cells and proteins and eliminate them from the body.
Explanation: The ability of the immune system to clearly distinguish foreign cells and proteins from those made by the body helps the body to identify pathogens that invade the body and trigger appropriate immune response to eliminate the foreign cells and proteins.
When the immune system of the body fails to distinguish foreign cells and proteins from those made by the body, the body launches an attack against its cells, that is the immune system triggers an autoimmune response in which attacks are launched against the cells of the body and destroy them. This condition in which the immune system recognizes the cells of the body as non-self and launches an attack against them is known as autoimmunity. Autoimmunity is the major cause of most degenerative diseases such as type I diabetes mellitus.
