Question

if you are ever stranded out in the ocean and the only water to drink is the ocean water, do not do it!!! the ocean water is high in salt, leaving it a lower concentration of water!!! if you drink it, the cells of your body will change in a way that you cannot stay alive! what will happen to your cells?
they will get larger because water will move into the cells. the cells will explode because they are so full of water.
they will get smaller because water will move out of the cells. you will become dehydrated faster.
nothing; the cells will be unaffected.

if a solution is 5% salt, then it is 95% water. what percentage of water does a 10% salt solution have?
80%
70%
90%
100%

Explanation:

Step1: Understand osmosis principle

Ocean water has high - salt concentration. When you drink it, due to osmosis, water moves from an area of higher water concentration (inside cells) to an area of lower water concentration (the salty extracellular environment).

Step2: Determine cell change

As water moves out of the cells, the cells will shrink, and you will become dehydrated faster.

Step3: Calculate water percentage in salt solution

The total percentage of a solution is 100%. If a solution is 10% salt, then the percentage of water is 100% - 10% = 90%.

Answer:

For the first question: They will get smaller because water will move out of the cells. You will become dehydrated faster.
For the second question: C. 90%
