Why people shouldn't drink ocean water?

Answer 1

== == You have to break this all of the way down to cells. When a cell takes in seawater, it also takes in salt. Salt will dehydrate the cell so if the cells dehydrate, you dehydrate. == == You may think you are rehydrating when you drink salt water but you're not. The kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water. Therefore, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking salt water, you have to urinate more water than you drank, so you die of dehydration. Here is the complicated reason. It is because of hypertonic solution. Hypertonic solution means that outside of the cell is saltier than inside the cell. Water moves out of the cell to create equilibrium (a contition in which the concentration of a substance is equal throughout a space) and then the cell shrinks. This makes your blood diluted which in the end is bad.

Answer 2

Ocean water has i high salt content, and humans use water to level out the salt content in their bodies, so they don't dehydrate. Since ocean water has that high salt content, if you drank to much, you would quickly experience the feelings of diarrhea, and dehydration, and once the human body becomes about 20% dehydrated, that person will die. Drink fresh water instead, or to counteract the salt content of the ocean water.

Answer 3

because you might swollow it and it will not tastes nies

Salinity is usually measured by the weight or amount of salt contained in water expressed as "parts per million" or ppm.Water is considered highly saline if it contains annywhere from 10,000-35,000 ppm of dissolved salts.Human can't drink salt water because the kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water,Therefore,to get rid all the excess salt taken in by drinking salt water,you have to urinate more water than you drank,so you die of dehyderation.

Answer 4

You know how sea water of a whitish foamy colour? That is because of the high levels of salt in the sea. You don't want to drink it because salt has much sodium in it.
