Osmosis has everything to do with dehydration. You see, osmosis is the process by which water is diffused across a selectively permeable membrane from a high to low concentration. The way the water diffuses depends on its environment or more accurately the relative concentration of solutes on the two sides of the membrane. This is simple if a cell is hypotonic to the solution outside of it then it will gain water and swell, in an isotonic state it it stays normal, and in a hypertonic state water will leave the cell and make the cell shrivel up. Dehydration is a result of cells being in a hypertonic environment and making water leave the cell.

What is meant by dehydration reaction?
It depends on the type of initial compound. For ether, for example, elevated temperature, with sulphuric acid as a catalyst is sufficient. Please see the first link for mentions of some of the compounds that undergo dehydration, then follow the links for the products of the dehydration reactions for information about their synthesis by dehydration.

Osmosis is
Is there antonyms for osmosis?
there is no antonym for osmosis.
Who founded osmosis?
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
What affects osmosis?
osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient the lower the concentration gradient the faster the speed of osmosis
What does osmosis bring into the cells that helps with wilted plants?
Osmosis brings water into the cell which helps wilted plants recover from dehydration.
What is an example of osmosis in the human body?
Two osmosis examples in human body can be; 1) sweat and/or dehydration 2) liquid to urine
Why do slugs die when you put salt on them osmosis?
The salt leaches the fluids out of the slug, due to osmosis. The slug then dies of dehydration.
The client was admitted to the hospital for dehydration Explain what changes occur in extracellular and intracellular fluid compartments during dehydration?
Fluid is lost from the intracellular compartment due to sweating which is replaced by fluid from the interstitial compartment by osmosis which then pulls fluid from the intravascular compartment by osmosis.
What does osmosis bring in to the cell that helps wilted plant cell?
Osmosis brings water into the cell which helps wilted plants recover from dehydration.

Why is the rate of dehydration greater in seawater than in fresh lake water?
Osmosis - The water inside your body wants to move to the more hypertonic solution to dilute it and you become jerky
Would salt in your bath help dehydration?
No, it could actually make dehydration worse since the salted water in the bath would try to absorb water from your skin due to osmosis. Salts lost during sweating can not be compensated for by absorbing salt through skin. It has to come through the normal channel of stomach.
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
