Answer:

Negative feedback

Explanation:

Dehydration stimulates the posterior pituitary gland to release vasopressin hormone in blood which in turn makes kidneys to reabsorb more water. vasopressin prevents water loss by stimulating the formation of concentrated urine and release of more salts from the body. Since the hormone is released to bring about change in the hydration level of the body (to restore the controlled condition again by reversing the change), it is an example of a negative feedback system.

What happens when an electrical gradient and a chemical gradient are applying opposite forces to active transport?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Option B, they negate each other

Explanation:

Electrical gradient force is more or less equal to the chemical gradient during an active transport. The number of electron produced during the establishment of chemical gradients, were transferred through the cellular circuit to produce electrical gradient of an equivalent amount in opposite path.

Thus, both electrical and chemical gradient are opposite to each other and hence they negate out each other.
