If you drink ocean water when your dehydrated it makes you even more so. In a hypertonic solution water moves out of the cells because the the particles want to have equal concentration gradients. Since a hypertonic solution has a high concentration of solutes in it it makes sense for the water from a cell to move out so that the environment in the cell and environment outside both have the same concentration of solutes. Human cells shrivel in a hypertonic solution, this kills the cells and can therefore kills you if enough cells can't function.

Use example to explain the terms ecological footprint and cultural imprint?

Ecological footprint refers to the amount of resources an individual or population consumes compared to what the Earth can sustainably provide. For example, if an individual's carbon emissions from transportation exceed what the environment can absorb, it contributes to a larger ecological footprint. Cultural imprint, on the other hand, refers to the impact of a society's beliefs, values, and traditions on the environment, such as practices that may harm ecosystems or biodiversity due to cultural norms.
