Drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages increases urine output more than drinking an equivalent amount of water.

Biology
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A) ADH secretion decreases. B) Urine osmolarity decreases.

Explanation:

Antidiuretic Hormone or ADH is responsible for the reabsorption of water through the kidneys.

A) Drinking alcoholic and/or caffeinated beverages decreases the release and effect of ADH so the water does not get absorbed as much as it should, which in turn results in more urination.

B) Osmolarity is a term used to express the concentration of a solution in terms of a certain particle. Since less ADH secretion results in more water being in the urine, this lowers the concentration of the urine. So urine osmolarity would be decreased.

I hope this answer helps.

Which of the following is an autotroph? a. mushroom b. tree c. deer d. wolf
aliina [53]

The right answer is b. Tree.

Some plants (like trees) have evolved with different unusual nutritional adaptations over time. Heterotrophic plants are plants that use only or partly a source of organic carbon to grow, unlike the most common autotrophic plants, which use inorganic carbon and water to grow, often through the process of photosynthesis (photoautotrophic).

Why doesnt pepsin, the enzyme released in the stomach to
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: unfavourable ph condition for the pepsin

Explanation: during digestion, enzymes are needed to aid the process.digestive enzymes are biological catalyst that breakdown large food particles into digestible form .

As biological catalyst, enzymes require an optimum temperature and pH condition.outside this temperature or pH,the enzyme is denatured.

In the stomach, hydrochloric acid is required to convert pepsinogen into it's active form,pepsin.the acid also creates an optimum low pH that pepsin needs to function.

As the food moves to the small intestine,the pH is alkaline and is unfavourable for pepsin to function.

Which of the following characteristics are true for an action potential?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.

Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.

Why is important for scientists to use scientific names and not common names?
klemol [59]
It is important for scientists to use scientific names and not common names because common names can be easily misunderstood as something else. For example, a scientist during an expeirement will use scientific names because if they used a common name of a certain thing and it be mistaken for something that it wasn't the entire expeirement would be ruined or someone could get hurt.
