Answer:

Explanation:

The iron fertilization is the method in which intentional introduction of the iron is done in the ocean. This is done in the area which has poor iron content.

This is important in order to increase the productivity or to accelerate the carbon dioxide sequestration from the atmosphere.

This is a trace element which is required for the process of photosynthesis in plants.

A large bloom of algae is developed using iron which will nourish the other members of the ocean.

Answer:

Increase aldosterone and decrease ADH

Explanation:

Aldosterone causes reabsorption of sodium ions while Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes reabsorption of water. Aldosterone also causes water reabsorption due to increased osmotic pressure by reabsorbing sodium ions. But for water reabsorption, Aldosterone has to work along with ADH to increase permeability for water. If we increase Aldosterone and decrease ADH, the sodium ions will be reabsorbed while water cannot be reabsorbed due to decreased permeability of DCT and collecting tubules for water.
