Answer:
Option B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption.
Explanation:
Aldosterone is an hormone secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is situated at the superior poles of the right and left kidneys.
Aldosterone regulates sodium homeostasis and as such helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.
Aldosterone is secreted in response to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) to increase sodium reabsorption from urine, sweat, and the gut. Also excessive aldosterone levels (too high sodium) can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).
Answer:
D) metaphase
Explanation:
Mitosis is a type of cell division in which the cell divides its replicated chromosome in equal amount in two daughter cells. Mitosis takes place in four phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase.
Metaphase is the stage of the cell division during which the chromosome is present in the highly condensed form present in the centre of the cell. The chromosomes are aligned at the equator of the cell.
Thus, metaphase is the correct answer.
worms get their energy through the biological process of cellular respiration where glucose from the food they eat is converted into ATP. This molecule is packed with potential energy, and is used by the cells within the worm to do work.

I believe it is natural selection. Natural selection is when over a period of time, traits that are formed to help the organism survive, are passed to the next generation. For example, if there were two types of rabbits. One had black fur and the other was white. They both lived in the artic. The black furred rabbits are mostly eaten by predators because their black fur is easily seen against the ice and snow. Over a period of time, the black furred rabbit would die out. The next generation would mostly have white fur to help them survive.
If a student rests and then squeezes a clothespin for one minute, will they be able to squeeze it more than someone that exercised before squeezing the pin for 1 minute?
