Q

long term effects of diabetes

A

eye damage
heart disease
strokes
kidney damage

17
Q

osmoregulation

A

controls the water in the body and is controlled by the brain,kidneys and hormones (ADA)

18
Q

ADH

A

anti diuretic hormone is produced by the brain when water levels in the blood are two low

19
Q

reabsorbed dilute

A

levels of ADH decrease so less water is reabsorbed in the kidney this leads to large volumes of dilute urine

20
Q

where is ADH produced

A

pituary gland

21
Q

phototropism auxins

A

a hormone lead response that a plant grows towards stimulus

22
Q

where is auxin made

A

in the stem tip
more auxin is made on the side away from the light causing the cells to grow more and elongate more
