The primary consumers ( herbivores ) feed directly on producers. The secondary consumers ( carnivores ) feed on the primary consumers and the tertiary consumers feed on the secondary consumers.
The secondary consumers would increase as the tertiary consumers would not be present. Finally, as a result, a number of the primary consumers would decrease.

Which hormone promotes the reabsorption of water from the kidneys back into the ecf by osmosis?.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

antidiuretic hormone

Explanation:

Osmosis is the tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration is higher, thus equalizing the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane. Antidiuretic hormone is also known as vasopressin. Vasopressin is a peptide hormone, synthesized in the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland, that stimulates capillary muscles and reduces the flow of urine and increases its concentration.
