Ahuman 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)-the 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 the lack of aquaporins.
(d)-the person would produce greater amounts of dilute urine.

(d)-The person would produce greater amounts of dilute urine.

Explanation:

Inhibition of the release of ADH (or vasopressin) secretion results in less water absorption in the distal and kidney collector tubules, resulting from less aquaporin activity, reducing the diffusion of water in these tubule cells to the medullary region of the kidneys.

These processes therefore result in increased urination with more dilute urine. An example of ADH inhibition is when we drink a certain amount of ethyl alcohol found in many beverages, because the ethanol found in these compounds causes suppressive changes in the activity of this hormone.

the transfer of energy between two molecules spaced just nanometers apart plays a key role in many technologies, including photovoltaics, quantum information systems, lighting, and sensors, as well as in biophysics to measure nanometer distances and in photosynthesis. but an open question in this area is what effect, if any, the surrounding photonic environment has on this nanoscale energy transfer. by designing and performing a carefully controlled experiment to answer this question, scientists have settled the debate and found clues to improving the efficiency of many of the technologies that rely on this process.

explanation:

on disadvantage of hydroelectric power is the cost. another disadvantage of using hydroelectric power is finding a water source powerful enough to harvest hydroelectric power.
