The answer is the fourth one: Atrial natriuretic peptide.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Anti-diuretic hormone: This hormone is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the posterior pituitary gland. It helps regulate water balance in the body by increasing water reabsorption in the kidneys.

  2. Angiotensin: This is not a hormone produced by the heart. Angiotensin is part of the renin-angiotensin system, which is primarily produced in the liver and activated in the blood. It plays a role in blood pressure regulation.

  3. Aldosterone: This hormone is produced by the adrenal glands, not the heart. It helps regulate sodium and potassium levels in the blood, which in turn affects blood pressure.

  4. Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP): This hormone is produced by the atria of the heart. It helps to reduce blood volume and pressure by promoting the excretion of sodium and water by the kidneys.

In summary, the hormone produced by the heart is Atrial natriuretic peptide.

Charles is playing a game involving two coloured lights. In each turn, one, both or neither of the lights flash. Charles moves forwards, backwards or doesn't move, depending on which of the lights flash, as shown in the table below. The probability that the green light flashes is 0.5 The probability that the pink light flashes is 0.4 The probability that neither light flashes is 0.2 How far away from his starting position would you expect Charles to be after 100 turns? Give your answer in metres (m). Light that flashes Distance moved Only green 2 m forwards Only pink 3 m forwards Both 1 m backwards Neither None
