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.

What are the four states of matter and how might we see them in a crime scene
rodikova [14]
Hi! I'm assuming you know the four states of matter- solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Putting them into a crime scene, however, is tricky.

Depending on which type of crime scene it is, there will be different types of states of matter in each, or possibly multiple.

Liquid can be seen as blood if it was a murder. Solid can be seen in that same crime scene if the murderer by chance left his knife, gun, or solid device they used to commit the murder. In other cases, gas can be seen used to kill someone because of it's toxicity. Plasma is a hard one, though, but can be seen in blood as well, because our blood is made up of plasma and other materials.

Hoping I helped, and I'd love to receive brainliest answer! :)

Which of the following does not accurately describe movement within plants?
atroni [7]
A. Transpiration is the only force that drives water movement within a plant.


<span>Normally there are two kinds of roots and they are taproot and fibrous roots. In case of taproots the main root goes downwards and smaller roots branches out of it. In case of taproots, it is true that the spread of roots is smaller than the depth of the roots. In case of fibrous roots, the spread of roots is greater than that of the depth of the roots. A wig tree is an example of a plant having taproot. in the wig tree the root can go to a depth of around 120 meters.<span>
