Answer:

Vasopressin or antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a nonapeptide synthesized in the hypothalamus. Science has known it to play essential roles in the control of the body’s osmotic balance, blood pressure regulation, sodium homeostasis, and kidney functioning. Given its vital role in multiple functions, it is no surprise that ADH is of great clinical significance. ADH primarily affects the ability of the kidney to reabsorb water; when present, ADH induces expression of water transport proteins in the late distal tubule and collecting duct to increase water reabsorption. Several disease states arise when the body loses control of ADH secretion or responds to its presence.

Answer:Phosphorylation cascades are similar to a row of dominoes falling down, instead of one domino knocking down the next, a phosphate being added activates the message. In this way, a series of different _(phosphate group) are each _(added ) after another. Inactive protein kinase 1 gets a __(phosphate group_)___ added and now it is active protein kinase 1. Active protein kinase 1 transfers a (phosphate group) and now inactive protein kinase 2 is now ___(active)_____. This continues until the desired (protein ) is activated to cause a cellular response.

Answer:

Correct option is White

Explanation:

Germinating seeds carry out their

respiration process at the cellular level to

be able to generate energy for growth and

maturation.

They do not yet have the ability to carry out

photosynthesis.

As a result of respiration, carbon dioxide is

released by the seeds which turn lime

water milky or white.

So the correct answer is 'White
