An individual who participates in a long-distance run on a hot day will produce large quantities of sweat. As a result of the excessive sweating, the amount of urine produced by the kidneys will change.
How will the kidneys respond to help the individual's body maintain homeostasis?
The kidneys will decrease urine production so the body can maintain blood pH
The kidneys will increase urine production to eliminate excess salt in the body
The kidneys will decrease urine production to allow the body to conserve water
The kidneys will increase urine production so the body can absorb more nutrients

A
B
C
D
