Biology
1 answer:
omeli [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Aldosterone

Explanation:

Mineralocorticoids are a group of hormones that act in the metabolism of minerals, mainly in the control of sodium and potassium ions. The major mineralocorticoid, responsible for at least 95% of the adrenal mineralocorticoid function, is the aldosterone hormone.

Aldosterone is a hormone that is produced in the adrenal cortex and is important for the control of blood pressure. It allows good blood pressure to be maintained and regulates the water and salt balance in the body by excreting sodium and potassium to inhibit the kidneys.

How do humpback whales survive and their population increasing
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

After being hunted almost to extinction, the humpback whale population has rebounded dramatically. Rapidly melting Antarctica ice poses a threat to coastal cities, but there is at least one species that is benefiting: Humpback whales are flourishing these days, due to an abundance of krill.

Pre-hunting population size may have been as many as 200,000-300,000 whales. They were estimated to number around 2,300 in 1998 and to be increasing between 2.4-8.4% per year. The IWC is undertaking an assessment of Antarctic blue whales at present.
