The correct answer is "a steroid hormone that reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine".
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland, whose main function is the homeostatic regulation of the blood pressure, plasma sodium, and plasma potassium levels.
Aldosterone's main mechanism of action is to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney, which in turn influences the retention of water and the volume and pressure of the blood. Based on all this, aldosterone reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Option C, No. The energy contained within these macromolecules is converted into other forms of chemical energy and kinetic energy, though some is lost as heat.

Breaking down of large molecule is necessary to convert large molecules into small easily digestible molecules so that the food energy stored in them can be  stored  in some other form specifically chemical energy and can be used at later stages. However, in the process of conversion of large molecules into small molecules , a certain amount of heat energy is used.

Hence, option C is correct

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) It brings a transport liquid into close contact with all cells in the body.

Explanation:

The circulatory system helps in bringing the blood which is a transport liquid in close contact with the cells present in our body. This helps in gas exchange between cells and blood. The circulation of blood in the body occurs by the pumping of blood by the heart into arteries, veins, and capillaries.

This circulation of blood plays many other vital functions like transport of nutrients to the cells, transport of waste products from the cell to outside the body, transport of hormones, maintenance of body temperature, etc.  

So all these processes become possible when transport liquid comes in contact with the cells. Therefore the right answer is a.
