How can water intake affect the volume and concentration of urine?
Alchen [17]
More water means more pee (theoretically). Pee is actually just garbage materials from the body (toxins). These color the urine. The more you drink, the more you have to pee and just pee clean because all toxins are out, or you have more water to take out the toxins, having less of it per let's say 0.5 l

What are some activities that cells engage in that require energy? And from where do cells obtain the energy they need to make A
malfutka [58]
Some activities that cell requires energy may include cell division, active transport, protein synthesis etc.
In human, Cells get their energy by the food we eat. The nutrients in the food breaks down into soluble and simple molecules in stomach and small intestine and it is absorbed through the small intestine and assimilated into the cells, becoming part of it, providing the uses for each type of nutrient. And of course, many of them is the energy source.

Neville has low blood pressure and his pituitary started producing a homorone to maintain water balance his blood pressure event
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: The options are missing in the question,the options are;

A) Positive feedback will stop the release of this hormone.

B) Positive feedback will speed up the release of this hormone.

C) Negative feedback will speed up the release of this hormone.

D) Negative feedback will stop the release of this hormone.

The correct answer to the question is option D

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WILL STOP THE RELEASE OF THIS HORMONE.

Explanation: The hormone the will be produced is known as Antidiuretic hormone (ADH).it is otherwise known as VASOPRESSIN.It is secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

The main effect of Antidiuretic hormone is to reduce urine output,(diuresis is the production of large amount of urine). Antidiuretic hormone acts in the distal convulated tubules and the collecting ducts of the nephrons of the kidneys,it increases their permeability to water and more of the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed. Antidiuretic hormone secretion is determined by the osmotic pressure of the blood circulating to the osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus.

As osmotic pressure rises,for example as a result of dehydration, secretion of Antidiuretic hormone increases. With this,there is Increased reabsorption of water reducing the amount of urine produced.This implies that more water is retained in the body making the rise in the osmotic pressure of the blood to be low,for example,after a large fluid intake, secretion of Antidiuretic hormone is reduced,less water is reabsorbed and more urine is produced.

At high concentrations,for example after severe blood loss, antidiuretic hormone causes smooth muscle contraction, especially vasoconstriction in small arteries.this has a pressor effect,raising systemic blood pressure.
