Sunken eyes.

Dehydration is a condition in which the rate at which the body looses t fluids is higher than the rate at which it takes fluids in.

It is caused by diarrhoea( watery stools )

2.Excessive sweating.

3 vomiting continusly.

4. No access to water intake

5.Polyuria(excessive urination)

6.Fever leading to hyperthermia.

The kidney is the main organ where the effect of dehydration is managed . As a result of increase in the solute potential of the blood,;the hypothalamus secrets ADH hormones which stimulates the Aquaporins(transmembrane proteins in the collecting duct and the distal convoluted tubules) to open .Therefore water moves in by osmosis to reduce the higher solute potential of the blood. Therfore low volume,high concentrated urine is produced.

This homeostatic function of the kidney ensures balanced in the electrolyte fluids of the body to manage dehydration,before medical intervention.

I just need help understanding the question a bit more
mash [69]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

So basically genes are made of DNA molecules. DNA molecules are the building blocks of genes.... if you think about legos for a second the building blocks of legos would be plastic right? because without plastic you don't have legos which is same here... genes are legos and DNA molecules are the plastic that make them (if you get my analogy).

So genes are the information carriers because they carry information on how to make a certain protein or express certain characteristics. Gene directs the cell to make certain proteins and proteins are the key players that are involved in many cellular process because they carry out major functions hence, the protein determine the function of cell because without protein the cell would have no function
