Hot and Dry

Hot and dry deserts, such as the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and northwestern Mexico, are warm year-round with an extreme range of diurnal (daily) temperatures because of low humidity. Brief but heavy storms may occur seasonally. Soil is hard and rocky. Burrowing mammals, insects and reptiles are the main fauna. The Great Sandy Desert of Australia and the Sahara of north Africa fall under this category.

Semi-Arid

Semi-arid deserts, such as the Great Basin of Nevada and western Utah, have long dry summers plus winter rainfall. Dew fall may exceed rainfall. Soil is sandy and rocky, and may include “caliche” (pans of calcium carbonate). Fauna is consistent with hot and dry deserts.

Describe the absorption of the electrolyte
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Absorption of Water and Electrolytes. ... Sodium is absorbed from the intestinal lumen by several mechanisms, most prominently by cotransport with glucose and amino acids, and by Na+/H+ exchange, both of which move sodium from the lumen into the enterocyte.

Large Intestine

Water is always absorbed in the alimentary tract through passive osmosis via a mostly paracellular route between enterocyte tight junctions. Consequently, water absorption is primarily actuated by active absorption of osmotic electrolytes, especially sodium.

Absorption of Water and Electrolytes. The small intestine must absorb massive quantities of water. ... Net movement of water across cell membranes always occurs by osmosis, and the fundamental concept needed to understand absorption in the small gut is that there is a tight coupling between water and solute absorption.

A majority of water's absorption into the bloodstream occurs after water passes through the stomach and on to the small intestine. The small intestine, at around 20 feet long, efficiently absorbs water into the cell membrane and bloodstream. ... Once absorbed into the body, water aids a number of vital functions.
