The correct answer is "a steroid hormone that reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine".
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal gland, whose main function is the homeostatic regulation of the blood pressure, plasma sodium, and plasma potassium levels.
Aldosterone's main mechanism of action is to regulate the reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium in the kidney, which in turn influences the retention of water and the volume and pressure of the blood. Based on all this, aldosterone reduces the amount of fluid excreted in the urine.

Explain how studying plant movement uncovers specific behaviors that may not have been attributed to plants.
dezoksy [38]

Studying plant movement uncovered some specific behaviors such as irritability in plants as plants were observed to move in response to stimulus.

<h3>What are the characteristics of living things?</h3>

Living things are things that have life in them.

Plants and animals are living things.

The characteristics of living things include:

  • movement
  • respiration
  • reproduction
  • sensitivity or irritability
  • excretion
  • growth
  • nutrition

Certain attributes of living things were not attributed to plants earlier such as sensitivity.

However, studying plant movement uncovered some specific behaviors such as irritability in plants as plants were observed to move in response to stimulus.

Why are both mitosis and meiosis important in passing on information from one generation to the next?
nignag [31]
Mitosis makes copies of the host, so it is a good option to increase the population because it is a fast process. Meiosis is important to create genetic diversity, because it makes four genetically different haploid cells, instead of two genetically identical diploid cells, as mitosis does.
