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>

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR BEST AND ACCURATE ANSWER!<br><br> What are the three parts of a nucleotide?
nasty-shy [4]

<u><em>The nitrogenous base</em></u> is the central information carrying part of the nucleotide structure. These molecules, which have different exposed functional groups, have differing abilities to interact with each other.

<u><em>The second portion of the nucleotide is the sugar.</em></u> Regardless of the nucleotide, the sugar is always the same. The difference is between DNA and RNA. In DNA, the 5-carbon sugar is deoxyribose, while in RNA, the 5-carbon sugar is ribose. This gives genetic molecules their names; the full name of DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, and RNA is ribonucleic acid.


<u><em>The last part of nucleotide structure, the phosphate group</em></u>, is probably familiar from another important molecule ATP. Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is the energy molecule that most life on Earth relies upon to store and transfer energy between reactions. ATP contains three phosphate groups, which can store a lot of energy in their bonds. Unlike ATP, the bonds formed within a nucleotide are known as phosphodiester bonds, because they happen between the phosphate group and the sugar molecule.

   Which statement about male and female cones is true? asap!!!
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: a-Male cones are smaller than female cones.

The cones are the characteristics of the gymnosperms plant species specifically to the Conifers. These plants exhibit naked ovules and the pollination in these cones is aided by the wind pollination. The male cones are smaller than the female cones and grows on the lower branches of the trees whereas the female cones grows on the higher branches. Each bract or scale of the male cone exhibit numerous pollen grains which are blown away by the wind and they pollinate the ovules of the female cones. Each bract or scale of female cone exhibit an ovule at the lower end. Each ovule is fertilized by the pollen to form the seed.

What will most likely happen if a person does not consume the minimum daily requirement of carbohydrates?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

If a person does not consume the minimum daily requirement of carbohydrates then the body will use stored glycogen and the person will look unhealthy and become weak after some time.

<h3><u>Importance of carbohydrates</u>: </h3>
  • Like other nutrients, carbohydrates are also very essential for various functions of the body.
  • Carbohydrates such as glucose are required for instant energy and day-to-day activities.
  • If there is no or less amount of carbohydrate in the body then our body will start converting the glycogen that is stored in the liver into glucose.
  • After some time, the person will start to appear unhealthy, thin and weak if there is no minimum daily requirement of carbohydrates is met.
