The answer is the last one: ADH is released, which causes the kidneys to reabsorb more water from the renal tubules back into the bloodstream.

Explanation for each option:

  1. The liver produces more bile to help break down the excess solutes: This is incorrect. Bile production by the liver is primarily related to the digestion and absorption of fats, not the regulation of solute concentration in the blood.

  2. The heart rate decreases to compensate for the increased solute concentration: This is incorrect. Heart rate is not directly regulated by solute concentration in the blood. Instead, it is influenced by factors such as autonomic nervous system activity and blood pressure.

  3. Aldosterone is released and causes the kidneys to excrete more water into the renal tubules: This is incorrect. Aldosterone primarily promotes sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the kidneys, which can lead to water retention, not excretion.

  4. The lungs begin to hyperventilate to remove excess solutes through exhalation: This is incorrect. Hyperventilation primarily affects the levels of carbon dioxide in the blood, not solutes like sodium or glucose.

  5. ADH is released, which causes the kidneys to reabsorb more water from the renal tubules back into the bloodstream: This is correct. When the concentration of solutes in the blood is high, the body releases antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to promote water reabsorption in the kidneys, thereby diluting the solutes and helping to maintain osmotic balance.

In summary, when the concentration of solutes in the blood is high, ADH is released to help the kidneys reabsorb more water, reducing the solute concentration.

A mass suspended by a spring that obeys Hooke's law (F=-k) will stretch the spring a distance x. In equilibrium, the spring pulls to balance the weight, mg, of the mass. The spring constant is "k", and the acceleration of gravity is "g". When the spring is stretched from equilibrium and released, the mass will oscillate up and down at a frequency f=1 / 2π√(k / m). Imagine a coiled spring that is extended a distance 0.09 by a mass hanging from it: it is then pulled down more and released so that it oscillates up and down. How long does it take to go up to its maximum and back down to its point of release? Give your answer in seconds but do not include the units when you enter it here on Blackboard. Hint: It does not depend on the mass!

Consider a U-tube filled with mercury as shown in the figure. The diameter of the right arm of the U-tube is D=1.5 cm, and the diameter of the left arm is twice that. Heavy oil with a specific gravity of 2.660 is poured into the left arm, forcing some mercury from the left arm into the right one. Determine the maximum amount of oil that can be added into the left arm. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
