Given the higher salinity of the ocean water in comparison to your stomach cells, you will lose water from your cells and become dehydrated.

Osmosis is a phenomenon that shows that in the presence of a space in which the solute concentration is higher than its current location, water will travel towards that more concentrated space in an attempt to dilute the concentration.

The urge to drink is what we call being thirsty. This urge has a biological origin. It is the body's way of telling you that your cells need more water, which leads us to often consume any water we have available. This is not always in our best interest.

However, due to osmosis, drinking the seawater would only have a negative effect on your stomach cells. As stated in the question, the cells contain less concentration of solute (in this case salt) than the water. This means that instead of entering the cell, water would leave to dilute the new seawater, thus dehydrating you more and worsening your condition.

What are the conditions necessary for an annular solar eclipse?

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line with the Earth, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the dark disk of the Moon.

Explain whether continuing to increase light intensity will increase the rate of photosynthesis. Please help!

crimeas [40]

Answer:

So in the case of a plant, a higher light intensity means more packets of light called “photons” are hitting the leaves. As you rise from low light intensity to higher light intensity, the rate of photosynthesis will increase because there is more light available to drive the reactions of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

If you continue to increase the intensity of light that a plant receives, what happens? The rate of photosynthesis increases with light intensity. The rate of photosynthesis decreases with light intensity. The rate of photosynthesis increases and then levels off.As light intensity increases (distance between lamp and plant decreases) the volume of oxygen (or the rate of bubble production) increases. This indicates that the rate of photosynthesis increases with light intensity.
