Salt accumulation in the runoff when the snow melts can cause loss of water from the roots of plants leading to the death of the plants. Sufficient amounts of salt could cause fresh water organisms harm in the same manner.

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

a. Decrease water reabsorption : decrease blood pressure.

b. Decrease peripheral resistance : decrease blood pressure

c. Vasodilation : decrease blood pressure

d. Decrease salt intake : decrease blood pressure

e. Decrease blood volume : decrease blood pressure

f. Vasoconstriction : increase blood pressure

g. Increase peripheral resistance:  increase blood pressure

h. Increase salt intake:  increase blood pressure

i. Increase blood volume : increase blood pressure

j. Increase water reabsorption: increase blood pressure

Explanation:

  • Total peripheral resistance: This term refers to the resistance offered by the vascular system to the blood flow.  This resistance is a result of the friction between the blood and the vessel's walls. In other words, it is the opposition of the vessels to blood flow. The total peripheral resistance is the summary of all the bloody circuit resistances in the body. Those mechanisms that induce vasoconstriction conduce to an increase in total peripheral resistance, while mechanisms that induce vasodilation provoke a decrease in total peripheral resistance.    
  • Blood pressure: This term refers to the strength applied by the blood against the vessel walls as it flows.  This pressure is determined by the bombed blood strength and the volume as well as by the vessel size and flexibility. Blood pressure changes continuously according to the activity, temperature, diet, emotional state, among others.    
  • Salt ingestion causes an increase in plasmatic osmolarity, stimulates thirst, and hence, water ingestion. Sodium retains water, expanding the blood volume and causing an increase in vessel pressure.
  • The antidiuretic hormone, also known as vasopressin hormone, is released by changes in serum osmolarity or blood volume. Its function is to keep homeostasis and make kidneys conserve or keep water by concentrating urine and by reducing its volume. By these actions, the antidiuretic hormone stimulates water reabsorption, according to the organism´s needs.
  • Kidneys control blood pressure in many ways. If the pressure is elevated, kidneys produce the loss of salt and water, normalizing arterial pressure. But if pressure is low, kidneys conserve water.

During gene expression, the dna-to-rna step is known as , while the rna-to-protein step is known as _____.
zlopas [31]

During the process of gene expression, the DNA to RNA step is known as transcription while the RNA to protein step is known as translation.

Gene expression is a process which involves the synthesis of a functional gene product by using the information present in the genes.

Transcription is a process which involves the synthesis of a RNA from the DNA. In eukaryotic cells, the transcription occurs in the nucleus whereas in prokaryotes the transcription occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Translation is the process by which the RNA is converted into a protein. The translation in prokaryotic cells occurs in the cytosol of the cell whereas in eukaryotic cells, the translation occurs in the ribosomes.
