<u>Answer:</u>

The main function of the ozone layer is to block most of the sun's damaging rays from reaching Earth.

Option: (b)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The stratosphere containing high level of ozone molecules about 30 km to 50 km altitude helps to absorb the sun's ultra violate rays.
  • In its absence, it would be very difficult for anything to survive. Plants cannot live and grow as the UV light causes weakening of plants.
  • It causes skin cancers. The increase in UV flux will lead to increase in sunburn, blindness, cataract, causing potentially death of animals and plants.

The correct answer is "a steroid hormone that reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine".
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland, whose main function is the homeostatic regulation of the blood pressure, plasma sodium, and plasma potassium levels.
Aldosterone's main mechanism of action is to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney, which in turn influences the retention of water and the volume and pressure of the blood. Based on all this, aldosterone reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine.
