What is the action of the vasopressin hormone released from the client's posterior pituitary gland?

1 answer:

5 0

Vasopressin, or the other name Anti Diuretic Hormone (ADH), has the action of causing the opposite (anti) of a diuretic. I.e., it causes the body to retain sodium, thus retaining water. This has many physiological effects, the majority of which focus around enabling the body to maintain homeostasis when water intake or hydration levels drop.

The ph of four different solutions are recorded below which solution is more acidic a.pH=3 b.pH=7 c.pH=10 d.pH=14

n200080 [17]

Solution a is the most acidic.

In a pH scale of 1 to 14, the smaller the pH is, the more acidic is. In opposite, the higher the pH is, the more alkaline it is. We call substances with pH below 7 as acid, and above 7 as alkali, while 7 as neutral.

Therefore, comparing the 4 solutions, solution a has the lowest pH, 3, so it is the most acidic.

Animal and Plant Cell Organelles Use the drop-down menus to determine where these organelles can be found. Ribosome Endoplasmic

rjkz [21]

Answer:

Animal Cell:

Ribosome, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, small Vacuoles, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm.

Plant Cell:

Ribosome, Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, Cell wall, Big Vacuole, Lysosomes, Mitochondria, Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Chloroplasts.

Explanation:

 Animal Cells Vegetable Cells

Cell wall NO YES

Vacuoles YES, Small and more than ones YES, Only one and big

Chloroplast NO YES

Plasmatic membrane YES YES

Mitochondria YES YES

Lysosomes YES YES

Endoplasmic reticulum YES YES

Golgi apparatus YES YES

Cytoplasm YES YES

Ribosome YES YES

Both the animal and plant cells are eukaryotic. They carry their genetic material in the nucleus and mitochondria. Organelles are located in the cytosol, and both of them are surrounded by a protector cell membrane.

However, they have some differences:

Cell wall: A rigid structure that provides support and protection.

Animal cells do not have a cell wall. They are only surrounded by the cell membrane, which is flexible, so they can adopt different shapes.
Plant cells have a wall, so their shape is usually prismatic and regular. The cell wall is composed mainly of cellulose.

Chloroplast: these are organelles that accumulate chlorophyll.

Animal cells do not have chloroplasts because they do not photosynthesize.
Plant cells have chloroplasts, and they are in charge of the photosynthesis process that allows plants to release oxygen. These organelles use solar light as the source of energy.

Vacuoles:

Animal cells have many and small vacuoles whose function is to store water, ions, and waste intracellular substances.

Plant cells have a unique big-sized vacuole that might occupy almost 90% of the cell. Their principal function is to store water and keep the turgidity. When the vacuole gets empty, the plant loses rigidity.

Other differences are:

The animal cell has centrioles, while the vegetable cell does not.

Plasmodium, chromoplasts, and glyoxysomes are present in the vegetable cell but not in the animal cell.
