Doing so is an example of using biology to improve human health.
Aldosterone stimulates the reabsorption of Na+ and secretion of K+ in the the kidneys. Aldosterone is classified as a steroid hormone that is being produced and secreted in the adrenal cortex. It stimulates the reabsorption of these ions by increasing the activity of the sodium and potassium pumps and the leakage channels of the sodium and the potassium ions. This hormone would activate the electrogenic channels of these ions located in the apical membrane increasing the synthesis of the channels. The secretion of this hormone is being stimulated by the low plasma sodium ion concentration, high plasma concentration of the potassium ions and the angiotensin 2.
Answer:
The energy stored in the living organisms in the chemical bonds.
Explanation:
The energy in the living system is stored in the chemical bonds. The chemical bonds are covalent in nature. The energy that is stored is extracted when these bonds break and use by the body of organisms in performing different functions. The body stored energy in the form of glycogen and triglycerides.
