Answer:

The correct answer is - option A. aldosterone.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is secreted by the Zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland. It is mineralocorticoid which is a steroid hormone that signals the kidney to prevent sodium ion and water in case of low blood pressure and volume in vessels. To save the water and ion of salts it promotes the reabsorption and leads to low urine output.

On another hand, ANP or atrial natriuretic peptide which release from the heart and enhances the urine output in response to high blood volume and pressure as it ceases the release of the Aldosterone.

Thus, the correct answer is - option A.

The relationship of structure to function is one of the major themes in biology. For three of the following structure/function p
Elis [28]

Answer:

The function of  biomolecule inside our body system fully depends on the structure of that biomolecule.It is because the functional groups that participate in a  chemical or biochemical reactions are arranged in a specific array in the structure of that biomolecule or macromolecule.

Explanation:

a enzyme structure/catalysis   Enzymes are proteinecious in nature.Enzyme contain various amino acids in its active site such as histidine,serine,glutamic acid etc The amino acids of the active site of that enzyme interact with the substrate resulting in the formation of the product.

b mRNA structure/protein synthesis mRNA or messenger RNA consist of nucleotide sequence.The 3 concequetive nucleotides of an mRNA is termed as codons.Each codon codes for specific amino acid.The so formed amino acid linked with the adjacent amino acid by peptide linkage.

c cell membrane structure and signal transduction cell membrane contain various surface protein that act as receptor to detect signals by binding with signaling molecule during signal transduction process.

Active and passive immunity involves all of the following except receiving mother's antibodies through breast-feeding. exposure
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

Immunity is the ability of an animal to resist infection.

There are two types of immunity in the body; INNATE OR INHERITED IMMUNITY AND ACQUIRED IMMUNITY. Inherited immunity it is the type of immunity that one is born with. It is passed from parent to offspring.

Acquired immunity is immunity to particular infections that is not inherited but has developed in the animal's life as it interacts with its environment. Acquired immunity can develop naturally in which case it is called NATURAL ACQUIRED IMMUNITY OR ARTIFICALLY.  

ACTIVE IMMUNITY is the form of acquired immunity in which the body produces its OWN antibodies against infections. While PASSIVE IMMUNITY is the form of acquired immunity in which an individual is PROTECTED AGAINST INFECTION BY RECEIVING ANTIBODIES.  

NATURAL ACQUIRED IMMUNITY

when attacked by the same pathogens again, they don't became seriously ill. this is because memory cells are able to recognise the antigens and stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against the pathogens. This is known as NATURAL ACTIVE ACQUIRED IMMUNITY. It develops when one recovers from an infection.

During pregnancy, the mother passes antibodies across the placenta to the foetus. At birth the baby gets antibodies from the mother through breast milk. This is natural passive acquired immunity.
