Answer:
Anti-diuretic hormone causes the kidneys to increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water
.
Explanation:
The anti-diuretic hormones stimulates the process of water re-absorption by enhancing the water channels or aquaporins in the membranes of the kidney tubules. The solute free water are transferred through the channels in the tubular cells and back in the blood which then leads to decrease in the osmolarity of plasma with the increase in osmolarity of urine. The hormone is prepared in the hypothalamus of brain and stored in the pituitary glands. It reminds the kidney about the absorption of water, through which it maintains the balance of water in blood.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The butterfly formed those adaptions so predators are less likely to eat it
The term applied when water passes through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high to low concentration is called osmosis. Osmotic pressure is defined as the amount of external pressure that is required to stop the net movement of the solution across the semi permeable membrane. In terms of biology, osmosis has great importance as most of the membranes in our body are semi permeable. Permeability depends on several factors such as charge, solubility, solute size and chemistry. Osmosis is the process that provides the primary means through which water travels in and out of the cells.
Answer: A weather or sounding balloon is a balloon (specifically a type of high-altitude balloon) that carries instruments aloft to send back information on atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity and wind speed by means of a small, expendable measuring device called a radiosonde.
