Your friend notes that Gatorade has electrolytes like sodium and potassium chloride. He figures that if a few electrolytes are g

ood for you, then a lot must be even better. Following this logic, he adds nearly a tablespoonful of salt to his Gatorade. What kind of solution is his Gatorade now (hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic)? What will likely to happen to his cells if he drinks this liquid?

The solution should become hypertonic.

A solution will be called hypertonic if their oncotic/osmotic pressure is higher than the body fluid. When a hypertonic solution is administered, they will attract water from the nearby membrane. This will make a nearby cell become shrink as they lose water. This might be dangerous as the cells as they might go lysis if the amount of water loss is too many.
After the salt absorbed, it will be dumped by kidney into urine. But the salt will also attract water, so you will lose some fluid and might become dehydrated. This is why drinking sea water is dangerous because it will cause more fluid loss in urine.

Which of the following is a true statement about lava that contains large amounts of dissolved gases? Lava that produces violent
anygoal [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The dissolved gases produce violent eruption as they escape. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Magma contains dissolved gases and these dissolved gases induce vapor <em>pressure on the magma.</em> The magma is able to remain in the dissolved state itself without erupting because this vapor pressure is less than the confining pressure of the <em>rock surrounding the magma. </em>

One the vapor pressure exceeds this confining pressure the dissolved gases begin to  expand and<em> forms small gas bubbles</em>.

The <em>density of these gas bubbles</em> called vesicles is less than the density of magma and thus naturally tries to push out. When the gas bubbles escape the magma is also pushed out. Thus greater <em>amount of dissolved gases result in violent eruptions. </em>

According to catastrophists what was the rate of geological change?
givi [52]
Catastrophism is the theory that the Earth has largely been shaped by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope.[1] This is in contrast to uniformitarianism (sometimes described as gradualism), in which slow incremental changes, such as erosion, created all the Earth's geological features. The proponents of uniformitarianism held that the present was the key to the past, and that all geological processes (such as erosion) throughout the past were like those that can be observed now. Since the early disputes, a more inclusive and integrated view of geologic events has developed, in which the scientific consensus accepts that there were some catastrophic events in the geologic past, but these were explicable as extreme examples of natural processes which can occur.

Heart muscle cells would tend to separate without ________
Hitman42 [59]
The answer is intercalated discs. They allow the heart muscle cells to function as one organ due to a phenomenon known as syncytium. This is where uninuclear cells fuse to form an apparent multinucleate cell. This way the heart muscle cells can contract in synch. Intercalated discs appear in the sarcomere's (of the muscle fibres) Z line.

MAXImum [283]
<span>The specific heat of the metal is 0.5 cal/ (0C.g). This means the energy needed is 0.5 cal to raise the heat of 1 gram of metal by 1 degree C. Therefore, the energy needed to raise 100 g of the metal by 20 degrees C is:
0.5 * 20 * 100 = 1000 cal.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Human activity affects the availability of food for deer populations in many ways. Hundreds of years ago, dear were very rare but now more civilization has occurred making more food for dear in the gardens outside of peoples houses. Also, people have started to kill organisms that they found harmful to themselves, causing the dear population not to decrease, but stay the same and reproduce.

Hope this helps!
