Question

Aldosterone results in the ______ reabsorption of Na⁺ and therefore also ______.

Answer 1

Aldosterone results in the reabsorption of Na⁺ and water into the bloodstream.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aldosterone results in the reabsorption of Na⁺ and therefore also water.

Aldosterone stimulates the uptake of Na⁺ in the distal convoluted tubule and collecting ducts of the kidneys, which leads to the reabsorption of both Na⁺ and water into the bloodstream.

This helps increase blood volume.
