Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Androgenic effects include acne, edema, hirsutism (increased hair distribution), deepening of the voice, oily skin and hair, weight gain, decrease in breast size, and testicular atrophy. Testosterone does not make the skin clear and soft, it does not make the voice higher, and the testicular atrophy is more likely to decrease rather than increase libido.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The fine-tuning of potassium levels occurs in the distal convoluted tubule, where aldosterone activates the sodiumpotassium exchange, leading to a loss of potassium. Therefore, options A, C, and D are not correct.
