PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!1) If you were lost at sea and you drank salty seawater, what would you expect to happen to the cells in your body?(shrink,swell,or stay same size )why do you think that?

2) A large-mouth bass is taken from a fresh water lake and transplanted into the river. If the conditions for survival are optimal, would you expect the cells in the fish to shrink,swell,or stay same size why do you think that?

3) If a sea star egg is taken from the ocean and put into Elk Lake would you expect the egg to shrink ,swell,or stay same size why do you think that?

Answer 1

Answer: 1. The correct answer is; are body cells is going to shrink. Salty seawater is a hyperosmotic solution, meaning that it has more solutes than the cell inside. The water will move (from the cell) via osmosis in order for the solutions to reach equilibrium. Also, salty solution exerts more pressure on the of the cell, so the cell will shrink.

2. The correct answer cells in the fish will stay the same size. This will occur because both solutions, freshwater lake and river have similar (or equal) solute concentrations. Those solutions are called isosmotic. There is no movement of water or the solutes, so the cell stays the same.

3. The correct answer is to swell.This will happen because sea star egg has the same solute concentration as its first environment-ocean meaning that this solution is hyperosmotic comparing to the lake (ocean is saltier than the lake, it has more solutes). When you put the sea star egg in the lake, the water from the lake will move (via osmosis) into the egg, to reach equilibrium. Water will cause the cell to swell.

Answer 2

Answer: 1) Our body cells would shrink because the excessive assumption of salt (from the salty seawater), would lead us to use and expel the clean/fresh water we already have out of our body (we'd urinate more as our kidneys would try hard to expel the salt, and we'd use more water than usual as our cells would try to dilute the salt);

2) I would expect the cells in the fish to stay the same size as both waters have a similar environment and saline level;

3) I'd expect it to swell because the ocean is saltier than lakes; it would swell because it would absorb more water than it did its usual environment.

How does radiometric dating help scientists pinpoint the age of a fossil? A. In radiometric dating, scientists mix the carbon in a fossil with carbon from similar fossils whose age they know. By comparing the carbon, they can tell the exact age of the fossil. B. Radiometric dating allows scientists to find fossils in only the lowest and oldest layers of sediment. C. In radiometric dating, scientists place samples of a fossil in certain liquids until the samples dissolve. The rate at which they dissolve indicates the age of the fossil.

Salinization increases the concentration of _______ in soil.a. plants
b. nutrients
c. salt
d. water

Answers

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is - c. salt.

Salinization can be described as a process of increasing salt content in any body (such as water body, soil).

Soil Salinization thus increases the concentration of salt in the soil (in the form of water soluble salt).

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

Salt, its the process of increasing the salt content.
