4 0
The kidneys can adjust the concentration of the urine to reflect the body's water needs, conserving waterif the body is dehydrated or makingurine more dilute to expel excess waterwhen necessary. ADH is a hormone that helps the body to retain water byincreasing water reabsorption by thekidneys.

soil. Swamps, marshes, and other wetland areas help to control flooding because they naturally hold water. Wetland regeneration
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Restoring farmlands to wetlands consists of a lot of pro and cons. Firstly, they should consider that wetlands will greatly filter carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduce greenhouse gases. Wetlands restoration would probably affect the lives of the nearby human residents negatively. This is due to the fact that wetlands provides an optimal habitat to wild animals especially dangerous carnivores like alligators. The regeneration project will expand the habitats of animals, and clean the water system but it will remove the nutrients from the soil.

vichka [17]

Answer:

<h2>potassium</h2>

Explanation:

The heartbeats of the heart are controlled by the sinoatrial node also known as the pacemaker of the heart. The impulse is generated in the conducting cells of the pacemaker as a result of the movement of sodium, potassium and calcium ions.

The sodium channels allow the movement of sodium into the cell which depolarizes the membrane from -60mv to -40 mv. At this point, the calcium gated channels open which allow the entry of the calcium in the cell which depolarizes the cell up to +5mv.

At this point, the potassium channels open which allows the potassium ions to move out of the cell. This repolarizes the cell and hence the cycle again begins.  Reducing the permeability of the potassium ions help generate the autorhythmicity due to repolarization and thus is the correct answer.
