Is hypertonic active or passive transport

Biology
1 answer:
Len [333]4 years ago

I'm a little confused by this question. Hypertonic just means that something has more of something than another thing. For example, if you place a cell in a solution, and 2% of the cell is made out of something while the solution is made out of 40% of the same thing, the solution would be hypertonic to the cell. Sorry if that explanation doesn't make sense, I tried my best lol.

Although I'd assume the answer is passive transport as anything that is hypertonic to something else will diffuse down its gradient in an attempt to reach a balance.

Does the thirst mechanism always underestimates fluid loss during work in the heat and after work ends?
V125BC [204]
YES.
The thirst mechanism always underestimates fluid loss during work, in the heat and after work ends. Therefore you should take frequent drinks through out the work period. If you drink 250mililitres every 15 minutes, you can replace one litre per hour. if sweat rate is higher you will find it extremely difficult to keep up with fluid needs. During prolonged periods of work in the heat, weight loss exceeds 2 percent therefore the person should rehydrate before returning to work.
