The hormone vasopressin stimulates the kidneys to retain water.
Vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland and acts on the nephron tubules which increase the reabsorption of water, thus decreasing water content in urine while increasing that of blood.
The increase in water concentration in the blood elevates blood pressure as well as blood volume which makes the urine concentrated.
It regulates the tonicity of body fluids and therefore, in response to hypertonicity stimulates the kidneys to reabsorb solute-free water and return it to the circulation from the tubules of the nephron, thus restoring the tonicity of the body fluids toward normal.

The atmosphere transfers heat energy and moisture across the Earth. Incoming solar radiation (insolation) is redistributed from areas in which there is a surplus of heat (the equator) to areas where there is a heat deficit (the North and South Pole). This is achieved through a series of atmospheric cells: the Hadley cell, the Ferrel cell and the Polar cell (Figure 2). These operate in a similar way to, and indeed interact with, the ocean conveyor.
For example, as the oceans at low latitudes are heated, water evaporates and is transported poleward as water vapour. This warm air eventually cools and subsides. Changes in temperature and CO2 concentrations can lead to: changes in the size of atmospheric cells (in particular, the Hadley cell is susceptible to these alterations); warming in the troposphere; and disproportionately strong warming in Arctic regions. The strong interactions between ocean and atmospheric dynamics, and the significant feedback mechanisms between them, mean that climate researchers must consider these Earth components as interlinked systems. The necessity to assess ocean-atmospheric changes at the global scale has implications for the way in which research is conducted. It is only by integrating palaeo evidence of past changes, with present day monitoring, and projected models,
What are the species that are labeled a to e?
ATP, NADPH, and oxygen are formed products of the light-dependent portion. The independent part would produce things like glucose or lowered amounts of energy and NADP, much lower.
Answer:
Heterotrophs obtain chemical energy for their survival by eating plants and animals.
Explanation:
- The chemical energy that organism need comes from food. They break this food down to obtain energy.
- Depending on their source of nutrients , they are classified into: Autotrophs and Heterotrophs.
- Autotrophs use sunlight and photosynthesize to produce their own food. They are often known as producers.
- Heterotrophs are beings that can't prepare their own food and consume other organisms to obtain energy.They are also called consumers.
- Examples include: Animals, fungi,etc.
