What would happen to a salt water plant if you put in fresh water and why?
The plant is most likely to die because the salt water already killed the root cells. It also depends on the concentraition of the plant. some plants are very sensitive when fresh water is placed in ONLY salt water plants
Why a person could die of dehydration by drinking enough 10 percent salt solution?
The cells in the persons body would try to equalize the concentration on the outside and inside of the cell. This would lead to the cells exposed to the hypotonic solution dehydrating themselves.
What are the differences between salt water and fresh water?
the difference between salt water and fresh water is that salt water is from the ocean and fresh water is water that hasn't gotten to the ocean and so the water is clean, And you can only drink fresh water not salt water
Solutions of water and other molecules are found both inside and outside living cells. what term refers to the salt in a solution of salt and water?
Salt is the solute.
C) Explain what would happen to the salmon's cells if this process did not occur?
I'm assuming you're talking about osmosis. If osmosis didn't occur, then the saltwater salmon couldn't adapt to freshwater and would suffer from a lack of water and too much salt in the cells, and the freshwater salmon would have too much water and not enough salt in it's cells. The saltwater salmon would shrivel up in freshwater, and the freshwater salmon would burst in saltwater.
What would happen to your cells in your body if you drink salt water?
you become dehydrated because thwe concentration of salt is in salt water than in your cells, so water flows out of your cells to balance the concentrations.
What would happen to your cells if you were to drink salt water from the Pacific Ocean?
Because ocean water has a higher salt content that your cells (hypertonic), they would shrivel slightly.
What happens to your cells when you drink a lot of salt water?
You become dehydrated- water leaves the cells trying to dilute the salt water.
What happen as salt dissolves in water?
The water will taste salty and not good to drink, ocean water is salty and if you drink too much of it you can die.
What will happen to the cells of a fresh water plant when put in salt water?
It would die.
What would happen to the cells of a fresh water fish if you put it in salt water?
me dont know
What will happen to the cells in your body if you drink sea water?
When you drink a regular glass of water, most of it is absorbed by osmosis through cells lining your small intestine. If you drink salt water then salt is added to the blood stream and your blood then becomes hypertonic to the entire solution (meaning is has more solute (salt) than normal), and your cells will lose water because your body is trying to dilute all that salt. So your cells will lose water and shrink.
Why you shouldn't drink salt water?
because you drink water to get rid of salt in your blood and if you drink salt water it just adds more salt
Why shouldn't we drink salt water?
Why shouldn't we drink salt water
How salt water fish drink salt water?
fish dont drink salt water they just feel it
What would happen to your cells if you tried to drink ocean water?
Drinking ocean water would lead to dehydration of your cells due to its high salt content. The salt concentration in seawater is much higher than that of your body's cells, causing water to move out of the cells through osmosis to balance the salt levels. This process can result in cellular shrinkage and damage. Ultimately, consuming ocean water instead of fresh water can lead to serious health issues, including kidney problems and increased thirst.
If a shipwrecked sailor were to drink salt water what would happen to him?
Ironically, despite drinking water his body will dehydrate. Salt water contains a high content of salt, much higher than in a human body. The kidneys can't deal with such a high amount of salt (actually sodium chloride). Thus the sodium concentration in the blood will raise and raise the more salt water he trinks, until it has reached a toxic level. Then the salt will detract the water from all the cells. The result is fatal, the sailor would die.It is possible to drink some salt water, but only when enough fresh water is available to balance what the salt detracts from the body.
