Answer to Question 1

C
The primary intracellular electrolyte is potassium. Sodium is the primary extracellular electrolyte. Calcium and magnesium are not electrolytes.

Answer to Question 2

B
The hormone that causes the body to decrease sodium excretion is aldosterone. Adrenaline is re-leased in response to stress. Alanine is an amino acid, not a hormone. ADH causes the kidneys to decrease water excretion.
