Question
Chapter 20.6, Problem 25WDYL
Summary Introduction
To determine:
How angiotensinogen activated to become angiotensin II and also determine how angiotensin II influence blood pressure.
Concept introduction:
Blood pressure is the pressure on the walls of blood vessels exerted by the blood. The factors that affect blood pressure are: vasoconstriction, hypertension, and so on. The release of miner corticoid hormone from the adrenal cortex regulates the balance of sodium ion and water in kidney and help in maintaining the blood volume and pressure.

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
