A shipwrecked sailor is stranded on a small desert with not fresh water to drink. He knows he could last without food up to a mo

nth, but if he didnt have water to drink he would be dead within a week. Hoping to postpone the inevitable, his thirst drove him to drink the salty seawater. He was dead in two days. Why do you think drinking seawater killed the sailor faster than not drinking any water at all?

Answer: The salt dried and dehydrated him even further.

Explanation: When we become dehydrated, the sodium concentration in the body is already elevated. Adding salt only aggravates the condition by forcing the kidneys to excrete more water in order to eliminate the extra salt.

What types of materials require a vesicle for export or a food vacuole for import?
Korvikt [17]

Macromolecules or large particles are carried across the cell membrane via vesicles or other intracellular structures. Pinocytosis and efflux are the two types of vesicle transport.

<h3>How does a vesicle leave the cell with its cargo?</h3>

Exocytosis is the process by which cells move components from within the cell to the extracellular fluid. Exocytosis occurs when a vesicle's plasma membrane fuses with it, expelling its contents outside the cell.

The Golgi, also known as the Golgi complex, is a flattening, layered organelle that looks like a stack of pancakes. The Golgi body modifies and packages proteins and carbohydrates into lattice vesicles for "exportation" from the cell.
