When you drink sea water, what type of solution do you expose your cells to?

1 answer:

7 0

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!

Sati [7]

If a 10 year old child is diagnosed with acute glomerulonephritis and admitted to the pediatric unit, the nurse should TAKE THE VITAL SIGNS EVERY 4 HOURS AND OBTAIN THE DAILY WEIGHT OF THE CHILD.

Glomerulonephritis is a disease of kidney where the glomeruli are injured. It is very important to take measure the vital signs such as taking blood pressure of the child because in this disease acute renal failure might occur that hampers the vital functions of the body. Weighing the child everyday is also important because this helps to know the fluid status in the body.

Stels [109]

The effect does the chemical referred to as a mutagen has is it causes a permanent change in the genetic material (dna) and is denoted as option D.

This is referred to as deoxyribonucleic acid and is the genetic material in living organisms.

Mutagen on the other hand are agents which cause mutations which means alterations in the DNA of organisms. It affects the transcription and replication of the DNA thereby leading to cell death and other effects such as diseased condition.

This is therefore the reason why option D was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
