The answer is True: Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) increases GFR to decrease blood volume.

Explanation:

  1. True: ANP is a hormone released by the heart's atria in response to increased blood volume and pressure. It acts to reduce blood volume by increasing the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in the kidneys. This leads to increased excretion of sodium and water, thereby decreasing blood volume and pressure.

  2. False: This option is incorrect because ANP does indeed increase GFR as part of its mechanism to reduce blood volume.

In summary, ANP increases GFR to help decrease blood volume, making the statement true.

Read this passage: But we hesitate in this country, thinking that compulsory voting seems somehow un-American (Galston); we enjoy our freedom, including the freedom not to vote (Ornstein). Voting is deemed a civic right rather than a duty. However, our society does impose obligations on citizens when the success of our nation is at stake. Two examples are jury service and paying taxes. In this passage from "Compulsory Voting: An Idea Whose Time Has Come," what claim is being made by the author? A. Jury duty is boring but an important service to the country. B. U.S. citizens already have compulsory obligations to their country. C. Forcing someone to vote is considered to be un-American. D. The country could not function without money from taxes.
