Answer:

Option D, the concentration of salt in urine increases after eating a large bag of salty chips

Explanation:

A negative feedback  reduces the activity causing any uncertain output that disturbs the homeostatic control. For example - if temperature of the body rises , signals are send via negative feedback loop to bring it down to normal body temperature.

Like wise when the concentration of salt in urine rises, we feel thirsty. Thus water is taken to cope up with the increased salt content in body after eating chips.

Here,  the activity (i.e eating of salty chips) disturbing homeostatic control is reduced by increasing the salt content in urine that makes the person thirsty.

Hence, option D is correct

The answer is; Evaporation and condensation


When water turns from a liquid phase in the oceans to gas (water vapor) in the atmosphere, this is called evaporation. When the water vapor (gas ) cools in the cooler upper atmosphere to water droplets (that form clouds), this is called condensation.  Evaporation is an endothermic process while condensation is an exothermic process.

It is estimated that 5.9% of Americans have diabetes. Suppose a medical lab uses a test for diabetes that is 98% accurate for pe
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

P (actually that randomly selected person has diabetes given as given by the lab) = 0.7725

Explanation:

A probability is a number, between 0 and 1, expressing the precise likelihood of an event happening.

Probability (person actually has diabetes) = 5.9%

P(lab test says that they have diabetes) = 0.0764

P (actually that randomly selected person has diabetes given as given by the lab) = 0.7725

What molecules that allows plants to tell how bright light is and which direction it comes from?
morpeh [17]
Auxin is the molecule which is related to the phototropism of the plants. In the mutant plants, which do not have hormone auxin, do not respond to light. It activates proton pump, and leads to the decrease in the pH of the leaf. This acidification breaks cell wall structure and cell wall become less rigid, and thus, can bend towards the light, by exerting mechanical pressure.

Is facilitated diffusion an example of active transport
Maru [420]
Fascilitated diffusion is an example of passive transport because a protein carrier helps pass a substance through the cell membrane. No energy is required to do this, which is why it is passive. (Active transport involves the expenditure of energy).
