Given what we know about the methods used by scientists to estimate the weight of a dinosaur, we can confirm that the density of a dinosaur is scaled based on the average density of the common crocodile.
Scaling the density of an extinct animal based solely on bones can be a daunting task. Since the bones themselves do not offer much information on which to base such a calculation, scientists are often forced to rely on other estimations. One such example is the<em><u> </u></em><em><u>bone scaling method</u></em>.
This method relies on the genetic relationships shared between the dinosaur and <u>current-day living </u><u>animals</u>. This offers the ability to compare the dinosaur to the known body mass of a modern-day living animal. The animal most commonly used is the <em><u>crocodile</u></em>, however, though this method can provide the scientists with a degree of accuracy, <em><u>it lacks precision</u></em>.
The water molecules in the cell will want to move out of the cell into the pond in attempt to lower the salt concentration which will cause the cells to shrivel up with the loss of water. This is also called becoming hypertonic.
