When a person has a few drinks containing alcohol, they often feel the need to urinate. this response suggests interplay between alcohol and antidiuretic hormone (adh). which of the following could explain how alcohol and adh interact? (note: adh causes a decrease in urine production)a. alcohol inhibits the binding of adh to receptors in the brain, so individuals "feel" the need to urinate.
b. alcohol decreases the release of adh.
c. alcohol facilitates the binding of adh to receptors in the brain, so individuals "feel" the need to urinate.
d. alcohol increases the release of adh.

The way alcohol and ADH interact is:

a. Alcohol inhibits the binding of ADH to receptors in the brain, so individuals "feel" the need to urinate.

Explanation: The alcohol make the nerve cells less excited and it reduces or slow down the brain activities, which would make sure that the ADH is not secreted to decrease the release of urine. Hereby increasing the number of times the person would urinate.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.

explanation:

thrombocytopenia, which is a deficiency in blood platelets, can cause bleeding and bruising in the dermis similar to senile purpura. other possible causes include: exposure to ultraviolet rays and aging skin are common causes of senile purpura. senile purpura may also be a sign of collagen loss in the skin and bones.
