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.

BB X Bb = BB, Bb, BB, Bb

Explanation:

From the analogy shown, it is obvious that both parents are gene with black fur. During such crossing, the offspring are two homozygous dominant black fur and two heterozygous dominant black fur

All of the following statements regarding the pathogens that cause tetanus, anthrax, and botulism are correct except:

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

b. all three pathogens are obligate anaerobes.

Explanation:

Tetanus is caused by an exotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, which is normally found in the soil, although it may be present in the intestines of mammals. It is an anoxic and spore-forming bacteria. It enters the body through wounds or deep punctures, finding in the wound the anoxic conditions to germinate its spores, producing its potent toxin.

Anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, which is a stationary and endospore-forming bacteria that is resistant to high temperatures and chemicals. It is a strictly aerobic bacterium and can be found naturally in the soil. Both animals and humans can breathe or ingest spores of this bacterium by consuming meat or contaminated water. When spores get into the body, their turn into active cells and produce exotoxins

Botulism is caused by the pathogen Clostridium botulinum, a strict anaerobic bacillus, producing endospores and 8 different types of toxins. Being a soil-borne bacterium, it usually appears in the food of animal and vegetable origin.

Moreover, patient should lessen sodium-rich food, which include canned, packaged or processed foods and eating in fast-food chain. Also, consuming too much animal protein, calcium and oxalate increases the risk of developing phosphatic renal calculi.
