regulate water homeostasis in the human body. They are composed of functional units called the nephrons. Within the nephron, the majority of water homeostasis takes place in the collecting duct, as this component is responsible for water excretion (Sands & Layton 2017). The crucial hormone that is released in the collecting duct and is responsible for stimulating water retention is the antidiuretic hormone (ADH), commonly known as vasopressin (Park & Kwon 2017). The secretion of this hormone…

in figure 3. Over time, humans have been building fake islands on top of these ecosystems. But, yet our kind is destroying these ecosystems in order to build fake islands on top. The early steps in the process is dredging, where huge ships scoop up sand from the ocean floor and dump it on top. This has been shown to suffocate and kill every life form there. Fish die, coral turns white, and the plants perish due to the fact there is no sunlight. 70% of the world’s oxygen is produced by marine…

of strength depending on the required resistance of the foundation by the amount of the sand and gravel used when mixing, the amount of water and the ratio of cement to sand to gravel.
