which hormone targets the kidney to decrease water loss and triggers vasoconstriction to increase blood pressure?
antidiuretic hormone
prolactin
cortisol
oxytocin

42 multiple choice 2 points
the ________ metabolizes the resulting biproducts from breakdown of erythrocytes, storing iron in complex with ferritin.
liver
stomach
thyroid gland
gallbladder

43 multiple choice 2 points
a buffer is something that minimizes the change in ph when ________ is added to it.
an enzyme
bicarbonate
a catalyst
an acid or base

Explanation:

Analyze Question 41

The hormone that targets the kidney to decrease water loss (by increasing water reabsorption in the collecting ducts) and triggers vasoconstriction to increase blood pressure is antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also known as vasopressin.

Analyze Question 42

The liver is responsible for metabolizing the byproducts of erythrocyte (red blood cell) breakdown, including recycling the heme group and storing iron in complex with the protein ferritin.

Analyze Question 43

A chemical buffer is a solution that resists changes in pH when a small amount of an acid or base is added to it.
