People with chronic high blood pressure or hypertension often take a specific type of drug, called a diuretic, to help control their blood pressure. Diuretics reduce Na+ reabsorption from the lumen of the nephron. Water reabsorption is also reduced so Na+ and water are eliminated via the urine, increasing urine flow. Elaborate on how this reduces blood pressure.

A)The increased blood volume helps stretch the heart muscle and causes it to generate more pressure with each beat. B)The decreased reabsorption of Na+ and water from the nephron reduces blood volume, and as a result, reduces blood pressure. C)The increased Na+ and water reabsorption from the distal tubule reduces urine output and increases the circulating blood volume. D)The decreased reabsorption of Na+ causes the blood vessels to contract and the increased blood vessel constrictions decrease blood pressure.

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?
