Answer:

The correct option is B. aldosterone

Explanation:

In organisms the most important electrolytes from the point of view of their concentration, therefore, of their osmotic effect, are the sodium and potassium ions. Aldosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, it helps to control blood pressure and it maintains healthy levels of sodium and potassium in the blood, preserving the balance of body fluids and allowing nerves and muscles to function well. The renin hormone, produced by the kidneys, normally stimulates the adrenal glands to release aldosterone.

Why was the cow insulin an effective substitute for the human insulin?
Ray Of Light [21]
Pork and beef insulins are similar to human insulin, differing only in one or a few amino acids. However, even a slight difference is enough to elicit an allergic response in some people. To overcome this problem, researchers looked for ways to make insulin that would more closely resemble human insulin.

Explain how fertilization occurs
alex41 [277]
<span>I'm assuming this in plants.

Brief-ish answer:

"Fertilization in plants occurs when pollen grains are transported from anthers to stigma. When ripe pollen from an anther catches on the stigma of the same kind of flower, each pollen grain sends out a small thread-like tube."

Here's a fuller answer:

"</span>Fertilization occurs after pollination, when pollen grains land on the stigma of a flower of the same species. During this time, a series of events take place leading to the formation of seeds. A pollen grain on the stigma develops a tiny tube that runs down the style of the ovary. The pollen tube contains a male gamete which meets the female gamete in the ovule. Fertilization occurs when the two gametes combine and their chromosomes join. The resulting product is a normal complement of chromosomes, with some from either parent flower. The fertilized ovule forms a seed, which consists of a food reservoir and an embryo that later develops into a new plant. In gymnosperms (conifers) male gametes are enclosed in pollen grains and are transmitted by wind or insects to the female reproductive organs. Fertilization in angiosperms (flowering plants) occurs when insects or other animals transport the pollen to the female reproductive organ (pistil).<span>
</span><span>Fertilization is the fusion of gametes to launch the development of a new individual organism. In animals, the process entails the combination of ovum with a sperm, leading to the development of an embryo. Fertilization in plants occurs when haploid gametes meet to create a diploid zygote, which eventually forms an embryo.</span><span>"

Five reason why women are likely to become infected with hiv
Paha777 [63]
This is due to the fact that women usually become infected at younger age than men. Many young women have a sexual relationship with older men who are more likely a hiv-positive, with the result that far more young women that young men in Africa were infected. Also the women are at higher risk of infection. The reason is both physical and socio-cultural.
