The answer is the first one: Renin.

Explanation for each option:

  • Renin: Correct. Renin is an enzyme produced by the juxtaglomerular cells in the kidneys. It plays a crucial role in the regulation of blood pressure by initiating the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), which leads to the constriction of blood vessels and retention of sodium and water, thereby increasing blood pressure.
  • Albumin: Incorrect. Albumin is a protein made by the liver that helps maintain oncotic pressure and fluid balance in the blood, but it does not directly control blood pressure.
  • Cortisol: Incorrect. Cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex that helps regulate metabolism, immune response, and stress, but it does not directly control blood pressure.
  • Vasopressin: Incorrect. Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is produced by the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland. It helps regulate water balance in the body and can influence blood pressure, but it is not produced in the glomeruli.

Summary: The substance made in the glomeruli that directly controls blood pressure is renin.

The relative frequency of an x-value is its frequency divided by n. This data set used data from 70 students, so n = 70. Calculate the relative frequency for each x-value. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) x Frequency Relative Frequency 0 8 0.11 1 7 0.10 2 7 0.10 3 7 0.10 4 6 0.09 5 8 0.11 6 7 0.10 7 6 0.09 8 6 0.09 9 8 0.11 Draw a relative frequency histogram using the values 0 through 9 as the class midpoints.
