Drinking too much water (and its absorption) causes dilution of electrolytes (ions and anions) in the body. If the body does not bring back the homeostatic balance (by shedding much water through urine), there could be an imbalance (hyponatremia) that could affect your muscle and nervous system that depends on electrolytes to function. Your nerves require sodium ions to transmit an impulse while your muscle cells require calcium ions to enable their contraction, hence one of the symptoms excess hydration will be frequent cramping.

Answer:

A. Chloroplast

Explanation:

Chloroplast, often known as the kitchen of the cell, is where photosynthetic reactions combining light energy from the Sun into chemical energy [Glucose] that is stored as food. They contain a Green Color Pigment called 'Chlorophyll' that initiates the process, but Chlorophyll isn't an organelle, in fact, it is one of the elements of Chloroplasts. Similarly, Thylakoids are membrane-bound elements inside Chloroplast that aid in photosynthesis. While Mitochondria, [Power Houses Of Cells] generate energy for various processes in cells through ATP-Generations.

Two cells in the same organism differ only in the number of chloroplasts they contain. The first cell has multiple chloroplasts,

<h2>Two cells charateristics - Option D</h2>

The second cell would not be able to produce as much food because it could not capture sunlight. This would most likely characterize these cells because the reason of the chloroplasts that use sunlight energy to make sugar molecules.

Hence, if a cell has more chloroplasts then it would be able to produce more sugar which means more food. But if a cell has less chloroplast then it would not capture sunlight and there will be less food. Consequently, chloroplasts are very important for cell in making food.
