Answer:
C. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption by increasing the number of Na+-K+ ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule.
Explanation:
- Aldosterone hormone is produced by the adrenal gland and mainly carries out its functions in the kidney.Through the aldosterone hormone the body is able to retain more water for the kidney is able to hold more sodium.
- When the plasma sodium levels decrease and the plasma potassium levels increase the production of aldosterone hormone is stimulated for sodium is needed in the .body to maintain the high water levels in the body.
Answer:
Both electron transport and a proton gradient
Explanation:
The process of oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria and electron transport chain in photosynthesis undergo chemiosmosis to produce ATP molecules.
Chemiosmosis is a process where the energy utilized by the movement of proton and electrons produces ATP molecules.
Both the processes involve the movement of electrons through electron carriers where the reduced energy is utilized to drive the flow of protons through the plasma membrane. This creates a proton gradient across the plasma membrane which rotates the ATP synthase and converts the ADP molecules into ATP molecules.
Thus, the selected option is correct.
Kidney. The kidney plays the role of keeping blood pressure in check by altering the blood volume.
If that's a true or false question the answer is true
