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.

aksik [14]

Answer:

12-14 october

Explanation:

The probable period of exposure is calculated as follows:

  1. Know  the range of the incubation period
  2. Start counting back from the days of the first case by subtracting the first number of incubation period range
  3. Count back the days from the last case by subtracting the last number of incubation period range.
  4. This will give a range which will be the period of exposure.

From the question,

  • Incubation period range 1-15
  • Date of first case = october 15
  • Therefore, first date of exposure = 15 -1 = 14
  • Date of last case = 22
  • Therefore, last date of exposure = 27 - 15 = 12
  • Thus, the range is 12-14 october which is the probable period of exposure.

Which organelle stores the information that determines an individual plant leaf shape.
sladkih [1.3K]

Genetic relationships, gene expression patterns, microRNAs, and active hormonal controls all contribute to the genetic foundation of leaf form. organelle 1 is large vacuole, 2nd organelle is mitochondria, organelle 3 is nucleus and organelle 4 is cell wall.

The size of the cell and the number of cells determine the size of the leaf. Plant hormones, growth-regulating factors (GRFs), TEOSINTE BRANCHED1/CYCLOIDEA/PCF (TCP), WUSCHEL RELATED HOMEOBOX (WOX), and other regulatory factors control cell expansion and differentiation [3,4].

Rough E.R. makes and transports substances through the cell and Smooth E.R. does not have ribosomes; Ribosome make protein for the cell.
