b) Community services change as the number of species increases or decreases

c) there is a linear correlation between species richness and community services

d) species is an organism that helps hold the system together

A female patient has unexplained severe hypernatremia (plasma Na+ = 167 mmol/L) and complains of frequent urination and large urine volumes. A urine specimen reveals that the Na+ concentration is 15mmol/L (very low) and the osmolarity is 155 mOsm/L (very low). Laboratory tests reveal: plasma renin activity = 3 ng angiotensin I/ml/hr (normal = 1.0), plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) = 30 pg/ml (normal = 3 pg/ml), and plasma aldosterone = 20 ng/dL (normal = 6 ng/dL). Which of the following is the most likely reason for her hypernatremia?
