Answer:

Option d. alcohol inhibits the release of ADH

Explanation:

Anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), is a hormone that tells our kidney how much water needs to be conserved and it also helps to regulate and balance the water level in our blood.

Alcohol prevents the production of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH), which causes an increase in urine production and most times dehydration follows. Since the alcohol opposes the production of ADH, whenever we take in alcohol, our kidney is forced to generate more urine compared to the ones we generate normally. As this continues, we find ourselves urinating often and dehydration will set in because the hormone (ADH) which would have regulate our water level has be stop by the alcohol.

Answer:

d. alcohol inhibits the release of ADH

Explanation:

Alcohol play an opposite role in water reabsorption. ADH is made in supraoptic nuclues of hypothalamus and transfers fby neuron to posterior pituatry where it gets stored and secreted. Alcohol stops the release of ADH from posterior pituatry which decreases the serum level of ADH. As the ADH level lowers it wont be able to reabsorb water from the distal/collecting tubules of kidneys leading to increase in urine volume and urination.

Why cycus are called conifer? give its 3major characteristics features​
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Cycads /ˈsaɪkædz/ are seed plants that typically have a stout and woody (ligneous) trunk with a crown of large, hard, stiff, evergreen and (usually) pinnate leaves. The species are dioecious, therefore the individual plants of a species are either male or female. Cycads vary in size from having trunks only a few centimeters to several meters tall. They typically grow very slowly[3] and live very long, with some specimens known to be as much as 1,000 years old.[citation needed] Because of their superficial resemblance, they are sometimes mistaken for palms or ferns, but they are not closely related to either group.

Cycads are gymnosperms (naked seeded), meaning their unfertilized seeds are open to the air to be directly fertilized by pollination, as contrasted with angiosperms, which have enclosed seeds with more complex fertilization arrangements. Cycads have very specialized pollinators, usually a specific species of beetle. Both male and female cycads bear cones (strobili), somewhat similar to conifer cones.

Cycads have been reported to fix nitrogen in association with various cyanobacteria living in the roots (the "coralloid" roots).[4] These photosynthetic bacteria produce a neurotoxin called BMAA that is found in the seeds of cycads. This neurotoxin may enter a human food chain as the cycad seeds may be eaten directly as a source of flour by humans or by wild or feral animals such as bats, and humans may eat these animals. It is hypothesized that this is a source of some neurological diseases in humans.[5][6]

Cycads all over the world are in decline, with four species on the brink of extinction and seven species having fewer than 100 plants left in the wild.[7] The plant has a very long fossil history, with evidence that they existed in greater abundance and in greater diversity before the Jurassic and late Triassic mass extinction events.

How is air density related to the global wind patterns we see on our planet? *
Korolek [52]

Answer:

For example, air with a large amount of water vapor is less dense than dry air because the water molecule has less mass than either an individual nitrogen or oxygen molecule. Also as elevation or altitude increases, air becomes less dense. Unequal heating of the Earth's surface also forms large global wind patterns

Among coelomates, which of these develops by spiral cleavage and the mouth forms before the anus
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Protosomes

Explanation:

Protosome is a multicellular organism whose mouth grows before the anus from a primary embryonic opening which includesphyla mollusk, arthropod or annelid. Protosomes are developed by  spiral cleavage during embryo development.

Protosome animals have bilateral symmetry and three germ layers. Some of the examples of protostomes are snails and slugs (mollusk), earthworms (annelids), and spiders, lobsters, barnacles (arthropods).

Hence, the correct answer is Protosomes .
