Answer:

D) causing an increase in the number of aquaporin molecules of collecting duct cells

Explanation:

Action. ADH acts in the kidney to regulate the volume and osmolarity of the urine. Specifically, it acts in the distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting ducts (CT) cells.

This increases the water reabsorbed from the urine, in order to decrease plasma osmolality and increase total blood volume.

The principal action of ADH is to regulate the amount of water excreted by the kidneys. ... ADH travels in the bloodstream to the kidneys. Once at the kidneys, ADH changes the kidneys to become more permeable to water by temporarily inserting water channels, aquaporins, into the kidney tubules.

Antidiuretic hormone stimulates water reabsorbtion by stimulating insertion of "water channels" or aquaporins into the membranes of kidney tubules. These channels transport solute-free water through tubular cells and back into blood, leading to a decrease in plasma osmolarity and an increase osmolarity of urine.

Answer:

A. decreasing the speed at which filtrate flows through the nephron, leading to increased re-absorption of water.

Explanation:

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) functions at the cellular level by decreasing the speed at which filtrate flows through the nephron, leading to increased reabsorption of water. This helps during dehydration.

iragen [17]

We are given:

2 units of packed red blood cells infused over 1 hour each, so 1 unit per hour
1 unit is equivalent to 250 ml
10 gtt/mL

solve for the volume per unit time:

1 unit per hour / 1 unit /250 mL = 250 mL per hour

The flow rate in drops per minute is determined by:

- converting hours to minutes:

250 mL per hour * (1 hour / 60 minutes) =4.2 mL per minute

-multiplying gtt/ml to flow rate

4.2 mL/min * 10 gtt/mL = 42 gtt/minute

Therefore the final flow rate in drops per minute is 42 gtt per minute.<span />

Describe the role of chloroplasts and chlorophyll

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Chlorophyll is the part of chloroplast and is the light absorbing pigments which provide green color to the plants, but chloroplast traps the solar energy, which is the site of photosynthesis and other chemical reactions and works as the 'powerhouse of the cell' like mitochondria.
