How is the amount of urine produced regulated?

2 answers:

This depends on the secretion of antidiuretic hormone  ADH ...
If there is large amount of water present in your body then ADH production decreases and rate of urination increases so that extra water can be removed...
if you are dehydrated then ADH secretion increases so that you can preserve more water in your body hence amount of urine decreases....

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is produced by the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. Its function is to make membrane in collecting ducts permeable to water. it is released in response to a decrease in H2O, decrease in blood volume, and decrease in BP. A decrease in ADH secretion results in an increase in H2O output. A increase in ADH secretion results in a decrease in H2O output.

Na+ absorption also affects urine output. If reabsoprtion of Na+ is inhibited (by caffeine for example), it causes an increase in H2O output.

In order for energy to be released from an ATP molecule, which of the following must first take place?

exis [7]

Answer:

For the energy to be released from the ATP molecule it must first take place that the bond holding the third phosphate molecule must be broken.

Explanation:

The ATP molecule is the one that provides energy with which living beings carry out their metabolic processes.

ATP has in its structure three phosphate molecules, each of them united by a high energy bond. When the hydrolysis of ATP occurs —releasing a phosphate molecule and leaving ADP— energy is released by breaking the bond. That energy is used by the cell to perform its functions.

The other options are not correct because:

The addition or gain of phosphate to the ADP is called phosphorylation, and it does not release energy.
The separation of a phosphate molecule from ATP is sufficient to produce energy.
