People with chronic high blood pressure or hypertension often take a specific type of drug, called a diuretic, to help control their blood pressure. Diuretics reduce Na+ reabsorption from the lumen of the nephron. Water reabsorption is also reduced so Na+ and water are eliminated via the urine, increasing urine flow. Elaborate on how this reduces blood pressure.

A)The increased blood volume helps stretch the heart muscle and causes it to generate more pressure with each beat. B)The decreased reabsorption of Na+ and water from the nephron reduces blood volume, and as a result, reduces blood pressure. C)The increased Na+ and water reabsorption from the distal tubule reduces urine output and increases the circulating blood volume. D)The decreased reabsorption of Na+ causes the blood vessels to contract and the increased blood vessel constrictions decrease blood pressure.

The sketch shows a rynchosaur, an extinct animal that is known only from fossils. there has been much debate about the classification of these creatures. some scientists suggest that they belong with primitive amphibians, and some think they are related to snakes and lizards. the data equally support both cases. which statement best explains how to draw a cladogram that includes the rynchosaur? draw the cladogram for amphibians. draw the cladogram for reptiles. draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and leave it as a hypothesis. draw two cladograms, both showing the traits, and have scientists vote
