Chapter 27, Problem 8CP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect on the osmotic concentration of the blood when the person is in the desert without water for a day.
Introduction:
Dehydration is the loss of water or the scarcity of water inside the body. This occurs when the loss of water is more than the gain of water. Water can be lost through sweat glands and urine. If the body is undergoing dehydration, it can damage many organs as water is the primary requirement for every

what is osmotic pressure ? Why it is helpful ?
In a hot, dry desert a person can lose lots of water through sweating, but show no visible signs of sweating. One problem is that people may not realize how much water they are losing through sweating.
Why is it important to drink plenty of water under hot, dry desert conditions even when you do not feel like or realize you are sweating much? Beside dehydration, you should explain why the human body will overheat if unable to sweat under very hot and dry conditions.
a) The process by which salmon maintain an internal
balance is called osmoregulation. Describe how
salmon achieve osmoregulation as they migrate
between fresh and saltwater environments.
b) Describe what happens to salmon in fresh water.
What direction do solutes tend to move via diffusion?
What direction does water tend to move via osmosis?

The two solutions are: Solution A = 150 mM KCl Solution B = 150 mM Angiotensin (a 7 amino acid polypeptide) Which of the following would best explain the net movement in this situation? - water will move from the KCl side to Angiotensin side - water will move from Angiotensin side to KCl side - The Cl- ion will move to the angiotensin side until there is 75 mM Cl- on each side - Since Angiotensin is not an ion, it can move through the membrane - There is no net water movement as the concentrations are the same on both sidesarrow_forward
