During a long-distance run on a hot day, an athlete produces large quantities of SWEAT. As a result, the kidneys change the rate of urine production. Why is this change important?
Decreased urine production increases the amino acids in the blood.
Increased urine production removes amino acids produced as a result of running.
Decreased urine production allows the body to conserve water.
Increased urine production allows more water to remain in the bloodstream.
