Biology
1 answer:
BlackZzzverrR [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Not very successful considering the fact that there is still acid rain even with more advances in technology such as the development of hydroelectric power plants and other renewable forms of energy so as to reduce the continuous burning of fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Acid rain is produced when sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide forms are released into the atmosphere where they get to meet with water and other chemicals. Since water contains hydrogen and oxygen, it reacts with sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide form to produce weak acids which come down to the earth as it rains. Fossil fuel combustion is a man-made practice of releasing sulfur and nitrogen in their oxide form into the atmosphere which eventually results in acid rain.

belka [17]

Answer: The way alcohol and ADH interact is:

a. Alcohol inhibits the binding of ADH to receptors in the brain, so individuals "feel" the need to urinate.

Explanation: The alcohol make the nerve cells less excited and it reduces or slow down the brain activities, which would make sure that the ADH is not secreted to decrease the release of urine. Hereby increasing the number of times the person would urinate.
