Answer:

Diarrhea - the most common cause of dehydration and related deaths. The large intestine absorbs water from food matter, and diarrhea prevents this from happening. The body excretes too much water, leading to dehydration.

Vomiting - leads to a loss of fluids and makes it difficult to replace water by drinking it.

Sweating - the body's cooling mechanism releases a significant amount of water. Hot and humid weather and vigorous physical activity can further increase fluid loss from sweating. Similarly, a fever can cause an increase in sweating and may dehydrate the patient, especially if there is also diarrhea and vomiting.

Diabetes - high blood sugar levels cause increased urination and fluid loss. Tips for handling summer heat for people with diabetes.

Frequent urination - usually caused by uncontrolled diabetes, but also can be due to alcohol and medications such as diuretics, antihistamines, blood pressure medications, and anti psychotics.

Burns - blood vessels can become damaged, causing fluid to leak into the surrounding tissues.

Explanation:

For photosynthesis, your raw materials are chlorophyll (to absorb light energy from the sun), light, carbon dioxide, and water. The products are glucose and oxygen.

Chlorophyll can be found in the leaves of a plant.

Light is from the sun.

Carbon dioxide is taken in from surrounding air.

Water is taken in by the roots, along with mineral salts, before being distributed to other parts of the plant.

During the night, respiration takes place. You can think of it as opposite of photosynthesis. Materials are glucose and oxygen, and products are carbon dioxide and water.
