If a person is dehydrated because, he had no water to drink, then he will feel intense THIRST. In such case, potable water will cure his dehydration, by giving him water as much as he wants to drink. If dehydration is due to working in hot sun, he must be provided with salted water, 3 grams/ liter. Because he must have lost common salt through perspiration, witch is main ingredient of EXTRA CELLULAR FLUID COMPARTMENT.(20 % of body weight.) Giving glucose solution is potentially harmful as after consumption of glucose by body cells, only water remains in his body, making his body fluid HYPO TONIC. He may die of water intoxication if you try to correct his dehydration with glucose solution. If his dehydration is due to loose motion, then you can give him Oral Re hydration Solution,witch contains sodium chloride,sodium bi carbonate(Cit-rate is converted to bicarbonate in body.)and potassium chloride, very safely. If dehydration is due to vomiting and loose motion, then intravenous LACTATED RINGERS solution has to be administered with added extra potassium chloride added to intravenous BOTTLE.(8 mili moles/liter.)to keep his systolic blood pressure ABOVE 100 mm of Mercury and pulse BELOW 100/minute and glucose solution is administered, if patient complains of thirst as and when required. (You have added bicarbonate and potassium to diarrhea(And vomiting also.) patient, as after loss of bicarbonate in these types of dehydration, patient lands up in ACIDOSIS, leading to potassium coming out of cells and getting lost in these fluids..(You have DOUBLE the amount of potassium in your body than sodium, because you have 40 % of fluid in intro cellular compartment as against 20 % in extra cellular compartment. Both having about 150 mili moles/ liter of sodium and potassium respectively.)You may get serum potassium NORMAL or ELEVATED in dehydrated patient, though he may have severe loss of potassium(Hyokalemia.), witch will rapidly come down as soon as his ACIDOSIS is corrected, because then potassium will re enter the cells. So you can KILL the patient by administration of glucose solution only( Specially cholera or severe diarrhea patient.) by water intoxication, as body cells will get swollen and even may get burst, killing themselves if only glucose solution is given to such patients.

When a person is dehydrated and receives a glucose solution, the body's blood glucose level rises. This triggers the release of insulin, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels. As a result, glucose is taken up by the cells for energy production, and water is also drawn into the cells from the extracellular space, helping to rehydrate the body.

What occurs when two glucose molecules are chemically bonded and form of maltose?
The process known as dehydration synthesis occurs to join two glucose molucules. As they join, an OH- molecule joins with a Hydrogen to form H20 ( water). The water molecule leaves the new maltose molecule.
What happens when you heat glucose?
Felling solution contains Copper (II) Sulfate. Glucose being an aldehyde reduces copper Cu(II) to insoluble Cu2O. The last has dark yellow or red coloration.
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
concentration of glucose in the urine decreases.
What happens in the roots of a plant?
It produces glucose
What happens if you have enough glucose?
The glucose then is converted to it's ready use form glycogen. Then when needed it is converted back into glucose for cellular respiration.

One mole of sodium chloride and one mole of glucose are dissolved in the same volume of water in separate containers what happens to their colligative properties?
There is twice the change in colligative properties in the sodium chloride solution than in the glucose solution.
What happens to monomerswhen they undergo dehydration synthesis?
They will break up into smaller molecules.
What happens when Fehling's solution is mixed with sucrose?
The sucrose does not react with Fehling's reagent. Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. Most disaccharides are reducing sugars, sucrose is a notable exception, for it is a non-reducing sugar. The anomeric carbon of glucose is involved in the glucose- fructose bond and hence is not free to form the aldehyde in solution.
What happens if people don't get water?
Dehydration and death.
What happened to glucose?
what happens to glucose is its a some type of engry
What happens when glucose and starch react together?
They are the same: starch is the form in which glucose is stored. So nothing happens.
What happens to Red blood cells when added with water?
The red blood cell will become turgid because water will move from the glucose solution to the red blood cell.
What happens when dehydration begins to occur?
The salivary secretions decrease
In the dehydration synthesis of carbohydrate what happens?
Monosaccharides are joined together
What happens to the concentration of glucose in urine as the number of glucose carriers increase?
concentration of glucose in the urine decreases.
