Answer: b). By retaining body fluids.

Explanation:

An excretory system in animal body secretes excess water, salts, ions and nitrogenous wastes like ammonia from the body. It protects the body from waste aaccumulation.

If the animal is thirsty the excretory system will function to conserve the water in the body by reducing the secretion of bodily fluids like urine from the body. Unless dehydration will result which may lead to failure of organs and death.

The excretory system is most likely to respond when an animal is thirsty in this way: B. by retaining body fluids.
Because the body doesn't get enough fluids to not be thirsty anymore, it retains whatever fluids it already has in it until the thirst is satiated.

Answer and Explanation:

The retina covers the internal phase of the eye. It characterizes by its complex interaction between many morphologically and functionally different cells, which are located in many layers. The principal processing mechanism in the retina is lateral interactions among cells, and the most common lateral processing is lateral inhibition.

Photoreceptors are those cells that receive the light and translate the luminous signal into an electrical signal. These are the cones and sticks.

The horizontal cells intervene in the lateral spatial interaction between photoreceptors.      

Bipolar cells receive information from the photoreceptors and from the horizontal cells and transmit it to the most internal layers in the retina.

The retina is stratified into five layers. One of these is the external plexiform layer, a contact zone between photoreceptors, horizontal cells, bipolar cells, and other cells.    

In the vertebrates´ retina, the lateral inhibition is produced for the first time in the external plexiform layer, through the horizontal cells. These cells connect to photoreceptors, other horizontal cells, and bipolar cells. The connection between horizontal cells might reduce or amplify the photoreceptor answer, and this last one is transmitted by the bipolar cells to the interior of the retina. In photoreceptors, there are two connections to horizontal cells, a direct connection, and an indirect one. The connection between photoreceptors, horizontal cells, and bipolar cells is known as lateral inhibition. By this inhibition, photoreceptors allow the contrasting perception in an image. Lateral inhibition allows discriminating one stimulus from other stimuli, by enhancing contrast and definition. The inhibitory modulation is produced by the inhibitor neurotransmitter GABA.The spacial extension of lateral inhibition changes according to the adaptation to light. Gap junction between horizontal cells and between photoreceptors and horizontal cells might vary with the amount of light.

topjm [15]

The measure of how much water can be stored in geological materials is referred to as porosity. The correct option is C.

<h3>What are geological materials?</h3>

A geological material is a natural material extracted from the Earth in the form of rock or sediment, such as rocks, clays, sands, limestone, and other industrial minerals.

The percentage of void space in a rock is defined as porosity. It is defined as the ratio of the void or pore space volume to the total volume.

Thus, the correct option is C.
