choli [55]

Answer:

Increase aldosterone and decrease ADH

Explanation:

Aldosterone causes reabsorption of sodium ions while Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) causes reabsorption of water. Aldosterone also causes water reabsorption due to increased osmotic pressure by reabsorbing sodium ions. But for water reabsorption, Aldosterone has to work along with ADH to increase permeability for water. If we increase Aldosterone and decrease ADH, the sodium ions will be reabsorbed while water cannot be reabsorbed due to decreased permeability of DCT and collecting tubules for water.

How is the atmosphere a system? Explain and give one example.
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Because it is a fluid system, the atmosphere is capable of supporting a wide spectrum of motions. These range from turbulent eddies of a few meters to circulations with dimensions of the Earth itself. By rearranging mass, air motion influences otheratmospheric components such as water vapor, ozone, and cloud, which figure prominently in radiative and chemical processes. Such influence makes the atmospheric circulation a key ingredient of the global energy budget.
