Which of the following statements about aldosterone is not correct? - aldosterone is stimulated by decreased plasma sodium levels and increased plasma potassium levels.- aldosterone increases the number of passive sodium channels in the luminal membrane of the distal tubule and collecting duct, thus aiding sodium reabsorption.-aldosterone is produced in the adrenal cortex.-aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption by increasing the number of na+-k+ atpase pumps in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule.

C. Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption by increasing the number of Na+-K+ ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule.

Explanation;

thinking it would be physical characteristics

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
