Which cells produce and secrete the chief mineralocorticoid hormone, aldosterone?

Which cells produce and secrete the chief mineralocorticoid hormone, aldosterone? Correct Answer Zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex

Zona glomerulosa cells of the adrenal cortex secrete aldosterone which is a mineralocorticoid hormone. Aldosterone has major roles to play in sodium retention, water retention, potassium elimination etc. Aldosterone is also known as adrenocorticotropic hormones.

A solid-oxide fuel cell is fed with carbon monoxide and reacts with air to produce CO2. This reaction will produce 2 electrons which are used to power an electric circuit external to the fuel cell. The reaction equation is shown below: 2CO(g) + O2(g) -> 2CO2(g) ΔHr° = -565.96 kJ/mol This reaction does not occur for other types of fuel cells which use a catalyst, such as polymerelectrolyte membrane or phosphoric-acid fuel cells. The presence of carbon monoxide on the anode side of these types of fuel cells will cause catalyst poisoning, reducing the efficiency and voltage of the fuel cell. Determine the rate of enthalpy change for a carbon dioxide production rate of 208 mol/hr. The extent of the reaction occurring in the fuel cell can be obtained by the following equation: where:
