Sea water, also called salt water, has a high concentration of sodium that causes you to actually loose hydration, so while you are consuming liquid, your body feels more dehydrated from the salts leeching the water from your body. This would make a bad situation worse if you are stranded in the ocean, as you would need to conserve all the fresh water you can and keep as hydrated as possible.

Which statement about sexual reproduction in flowering plants is true
asambeis [7]

Answer:

D) Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

Explanation:

I am honestly not quite sure of this answer, but I was trying to read up on the topic and this is the answer I'm most confident in. It would make sense that the offspring are genetically identical to the parent because they would have no where else to get their genes/mix to form new ones. I really hope this helps!

When a gummy bear shrinks, is that considered hypertonic or hypotonic?
raketka [301]

Answer:

Hypertonic

Explanation:

In hyper-tonic solutions, the cell will shrink and crenate. The mass and volume of a gummy bear that is placed in a salt solution will decrease due to the effect of osmosis. When placed in water, a hypo-tonic solution, the gummy bear will expand in size and volume due to the water entering it.

What kind of substance facilitates the hydrogen bonding of nucleotides into a new dna molecule?
son4ous [18]
The hydrogen bonding of nucleotides into a new DNA molecule is facilitated by enzymes. Hydrogen bonding is the electromagnetic attraction between polar molecules in which hydrogen is bound to a larger atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen. The nucleotides in a base pair are complementary which means their shape allows them to bond together with hydrogen bonds. The A-T pairs forms two hydrogen bonds while the C-G pair forms three. The enzymes called DNA polymerases join the nucleotides by way of phosphodiester bonds.
