snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process in which the molecules of a solvent move from a region of low concentration to a region of higher concentration through a semi-permeable barrier.

While eating the chips, <u>the salt content from the chips makes the surrounding solution of the cells to have an increase in salt concentration causing an hypertonic solution</u>. An hypertonic solution is a solution that has more solute (salt) than the (solute in a) cell. <u>This increase in salt concentration around the cells causes the cells to release water to neutralize the high salt concentration in the solution around the cell (in order to maintain homeostasis)</u> which causes dehydration in the individual and hence making the individual to be thirsty. <u>The body attempts to maintain balance by passing this excess salt out of the body in the form of urine hence the reason for the dark colour in the urine </u>(because if the body doesn't rid itself of the high salt concentration, the cells could shrink and die as a result).

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

This specimen is also far too old for C-14 dating to be accurate, as well as for any other technique but palaeomagnetic dating.

Explanation:

The second part of the sentence is not accurate, since the remains were dated by uranium-lead dating. Carbon-14 dating measures ages in the tens of thousands of years, and uranium-lead dating measures in the millions to billions of years.
