When you drink sea water, what type of solution do you expose your cells to?
Alex Ar [27]
The answer should be 1, hypertonic. 

Seawater is highly concentrated in salt, and with that being said, it has a low concentration of water molecules. 

Hypertonic means the solution has a lower water concentration than the other side (cell), vice versa for hypotonic, a high water concentration than the other side of the solution, and for isotonic, it means that both sides of the solution have the same water concentration. 

So, the answer should be 1, hypertonic. 

In addition, when your cells are exposed to hypertonic solution, the water molecules in your cells will start flowing out of the cells, to the outside, due to the difference in water concentration leading to osmosis. Your cells will lose so much water that they may even shrink!

enhanced natural

extraterrestrial

manmade

Answer:

Enhanced natural resources

Explanation:

Natural resources are the resources used by the humans for survival present in the environment or provided by the surrounding environment.The natural resources includes the wood, gas, air, water and other substances.

The substances which emits harmful radiations like radium, thorium, uranium are known as radioactive isotopes.

When these ionizing radiation emitting natural substances increases in the environment due to human activities like the particle accelerators, X-rays and other methods which produces these substances then these substances are refereed to as the enhanced natural substances.

Thus, Enhanced natural resources is the correct answer.
