Imagine the water content of the blood is low when you take in much salt with your food. What would happen in your kidney to regulate this situation? Osmoreceptors stimulate the
A. adrenal gland to release adrenalin that increases conversion of glycogen to glucose in the blood.
B. hypothalamus that releases aldosterone and sodium ions to reabsorb back into the blood.
C. ADH to release cortisone that promotes resistance to water stress.
D. pituitary gland to release ADH to reabsorb water back into the blood.
Several current studies point out that very large quantities of greenhouse gases have been added into Earth's atmosphere due to human activities. What would be the most likely responsible gas and its major sources, respectively?
A. Methane - aluminum smelting and semiconductor manufacturing
B. Carbon dioxide - fossil fuel combustion, deforestation, oil and gas usage
C. Perfluorocarbons - electric transmission, magnesium and aluminum production
Answer (2)
The body regulates low blood water content by releasing ADH from the pituitary gland to reabsorb water in the kidneys. The primary greenhouse gas contributing to climate change is carbon dioxide, mainly from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. Understanding these processes is essential for both biology and environmental science. ;
When blood water content is low due to high salt intake, the pituitary gland releases ADH to promote water reabsorption in the kidneys. The major greenhouse gas contributing to climate change is carbon dioxide, which mainly comes from fossil fuel combustion and deforestation.
