Which of the following is not a hormone involved in water or electrolyte balance? which of the following is not a hormone involved in water or electrolyte balance? atrial natriuretic peptide thyroxine aldosterone antidiuretic hormone

Thyroxine

Explanation:

Thyroxine mainly serves to increase the basal metabolic rate of the body. It increases the rate of ATP production by cellular respiration by increasing the concentrations of enzymes involved in the process. It targets all the body cells to stimulate the glucose breakdown and production of more and more ATP molecules to support growth and development. Thyroxine, along with the other thyroid hormone is also required for the development of the nervous system as it promotes synapse formation, production of myelin and growth of dendrites. However, the hormone has no effect on the water and salt balance of the body.

Aldosterone triggers reabsorption of sodium ions and excretion of potassium ions while anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) stimulates water reabsorption by kidneys. Atrial natriuretic peptide stimulates excretion of sodium ions and thereby loss of more water in urine as it inhibits the secretion of aldosterone.

answer: c

explanation:

a. seed plant structure. 1. the three main plant organs are roots, stems, and leaves. a fourth kind of tissue, meristematic tissue, is responsible for plant growth. meristematic tissue is the only plant tissue that produces new cells by mitosis. plants can lose water out of their leaves as they exchange gases with the air
