A human kidney filters about 200 liters of blood each day. Approximately two liters of liquid and nutrient waste are excreted as

urine. The remaining fluid and dissolved substances are reabsorbed and continue to circulate throughout the body. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) is secreted in response to reduced plasma volume. ADH targets the collecting ducts in the kidney, stimulating the insertion of aquaporins into their plasma membranes and an increased reabsorption of water. If ADH secretion is inhibited, which of the following would initially result?
a) Number of aquaporins would increase in response to the inhibition of ADH.
b) The person would decrease oral water intake to compensate for the inhibition of ADH.
c)Blood filtration would increase to compensate for lack of aquaporins.
d) Person would produce a greater amount of dilute urine.

Answer:

The correct option is D. Person would produce a greater amount of dilute urine.

Explanation:

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) can be described as a hormone that is produced by the hypothalamus part of the brain for the regulation of water. The amount of water that is reabsorbed by the collecting ducts is enhanced by this hormone. is also involved in increasing the amounts of aquaporins in the plasma membrane.

The absence of this hormone will cause less reabsorption of water. Hence, more amount of water would be released in the urine.

If a plant has a genotype of Aa, we would assume which is true?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

4. The A allele is dominant to the a allele.

Explanation:

In genetics, the dominant allele which is expressed when present in single or two copies is always written with an upper case letter. The corresponding allele whose expression is prevented in the presence of the dominant allele is written in the "lower case letter". This is called recessive allele. In the given genotype, one copy of "A" and one copy of "a" is present. This means that the allele written with upper case letter "A" is dominant over the allele "a". Nothing can be said about the genetic trait regulated by these two alleles of a gene.

What happens to pyruvate molecules formed in glycolysis in the absence of oxygen?
Mars2501 [29]
Absence of oxygen means anaerobic respiration ; which has 2 different pathways.

First Pathway ; Alcoholic fermentation which takes place in yeast.

Pyruvate is decarboxylated into ethanal releasing co2 as waste product.
Ethanal is toxic , so its reduced by help of NADH to ethanol in presence of alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme , and Free NAD is released to continue glycolysis.

2) The second pathway is Lactic fermentation which takes place in mammalian muscles.

Pyruvate accepts hydrogen and is converted to lactate by the help of enzyme lactate dehydrogenase , again free NAD is released to continue glycolysis.

Hope I made it clear enough :)
