Answer:

The correct answer is option A) "increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water by increasing the number of aquaporins".

Explanation:

Antidiuretic hormone, also known as Vasopressin, is a molecular messenger that stimulates water reabsorption in the kidneys. Antidiuretic hormone produce their effect by stimulating the synthesis and insertion of "water channels", known as aquaporins, into the membranes of the collecting tubules of the kidney. This increased number of aquaporins increases the permeability of the collecting ducts, which results in a greater water reabsorption in the kidneys.

Answer:

A) increases the permeability of the collecting ducts to water by increasing the number of aquaporins.

Explanation:

ADH is an hormone of the anterior pituitary gland  concern with osmoregualtion. When the solute potential of the blood rises , with decrease in water potential , the   water levels of the blood drops, the osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus sensed this from the circulatory blood and  prompted  the hypothalamus to stimulate the anterior pituitary gland to secrete ADH.

The  hormone is carried in the circulating blood to the walls of the collecting ducts where it binds with the receptors on the walls of the tubule,which increases the fusing and  binding of Aquaporins to the membrane of the collecting ducts to increase re absorption of water back into the blood, raising the water potential of the blood.

Lera25 [3.4K]
The answer is C - Recombinant DNA. Why?

A transgene is a gene or genetic material that has been transferred naturally, or by any of a number of genetic engineering techniques from one organism to another. The introduction of a transgene (called "transgenesis") has the potential to change the phenotype of an organism.

What is the purpose of replication?
Greeley [361]

The purpose of DNA replication is to produce two identical copies of a DNA molecule. This is essential for cell division during growth or repair of damaged tissues. DNA replication ensures that each new cell receives its own copy of the DNA.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Excitation is the process in which action potentials in the nerve fiber lead to action potentials in the muscle fiber. There is then a rapid fluctuation in membrane voltage at the motor end plate, called the end-plate potential. Areas of the sarcolemma near the motor plate have gates that open, moving ions, which causes the action potential that excites the muscle fiber. The process begins with a nerve signal stimulating a voltage-gated calcium ion channel to open, allowing the ions to enter the axon terminal. The ions stimulate the release of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft.
