Conn disease, also called primary aldosteronism, is characterized by excretion of excessive amounts of aldosterone.
Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by the adrenal gland, specifically in its cortex. It influences the hydroelectrolytic equilibrium by increasing the reabsorption of sodium (and by the way water) and elimination of potassium in the <span>distal convoluted tubule in the kidney.
In Conn's syndrome, there's an increase of aldosterone due to a tumor, carcinoma of hyperplasia, its most important symptom is neuromuscular trouble due to hypokalemia.</span>

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Red tide occurs in patches of water where certain species of dinoflagellates flourish.

Explanation:  

Red tides refer to the noticeable microalgae proliferation that can be recognized for being a big spot in the sea of a characteristic coloration. This phenomenon is caused by two microalgae groups: diatoms and dinoflagellates, both part of phytoplankton.

Red tides occur when certain environmental factors -such as temperature, light, nutrients availability, ph, etcetera- favor the overproduction of these organisms. These species produce toxins that turn to be dangerous for other animal species that feed on them.

Because these microorganisms produce pigments, their accumulation on the sea surface can be noticed as reddish, brown, or greenish color spots of variable extension.
