[Homeostasis]

18. What changes will take place in the composition of urine produced on a hot summer's day after playing sports for an hour?

Answer A because the blood has lost water through sweating. This increases the concentration of both salt and urea in the blood. Because the amount of water in the blood is lower, less will be excreted by the kidneys. This increases the concentration of salt and urea that are excreted in the urine.
