Explain osmoregulation with ADH using evidence from each question and mark scheme.
Fig. 1.2 shows the concentrations of ADH in the blood at different percentage changes in water potential of the blood.
Fig. 1.2
Describe the trend shown in Fig. 1.2.
any two from:
1 as water potential (of blood) increases concentration of ADH (in the blood) decreases ;
2 two ADH figures related to two \% change in water potential figures ;
3 between 0 % and (+) 10 % change in water potential, ADH (concentration), does not change / is constant / stays the same / plateaus ;
Sometimes a person will have a low concentration of ADH in the blood even though there is a change in the water potential.
Suggest one effect on the circulatory system of a low concentration of ADH in the blood.
blood, volume / pressure, decreases ;
