What is one way a saltwater fish controls the concentration of salt in its body?
Some fish balance water loss by drinking seawater and actively transporting chloride ions out through their skin and gills then the sodium ions follow passively out as well.
Does water actively follows salt?
No, water does not actively follow salt. The movement of water in relation to salt is governed by osmosis, which is the passive movement of water across a semipermeable membrane to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides. This process occurs until equilibrium is reached.
When the salt level is high inside a cell what type of molecules can passively move into the cell?
A high level of salt in a cell would cause water molecules to move passively into the cell.
How does water behave during electrolyte regulation?
During electrolyte regulation, water bubbles up hydrogen gas because it is a dipole.
Which one is neutral compound of follows air water sugar salt?
which one is neutral compound of follow air water sugar salt
How would hypertonic urine be produced from an isotonic blood plasma?
# Water is reabsorbed all along the nephron. # Urine becomes hypertonic (salty) because of the loop of Henle and the collecting duct. # Loop of Henle # The descending limb of the loop of Henle can't absorb salt, and the ascending limb can't absorb water. # Salt passively diffuses out of the lower portion of the ascending limb. # The upper part of ascending limb actively transports salt into tissue of the renal medulla. # Increase in salt in the direction of the inner medulla. # Urea leaks from the lower portion of collecting duct and contributes to a high solute (salt) concentration. # Water leaves descending limb of the loop of Henle, returning to the blood. # Urine is hypertonic to blood.
Why should you take less common salt?
Taking more common salt than what is needed will affect passively your healthSalt works on your kidneys to make your body hold on to more water. This extra stored water raises your blood pressure and puts strain on your kidneys, arteries, heart and brain.

What happens when you put a cell in salt water and why?
The inside of a cell and the outside of the cell are usually in equilibrium as far as salt is concerned. Water always follows salt.If the outside has more salt, then water will follow it outwards. The cell will lose water and become shriveled.
How do you Neutralize Salt damage in lawncare?
Flushing with lots of water does help. You can spread gipsum (follow directions) and water that in also.
Will adding salt to hard tap water improve hair softness?
Water is hard when it contains a lot of calcium. If you add table salt to it you will get hard salt water. The calcium and salt will deposit in your hair and it will be like coming home from the beach...without the sand. If you want your hair to be soft, wash it in soft water, rain water, distilled water or deionized water then follow the wash with a conditioner.
Why is it that when unicellular organism when placed in a concentrated salt will dehydrated?
When unicellular organisms are placed in a concentrated salt solution, water inside the organisms will move out of their cells through osmosis. This occurs because the salt solution has a higher solute concentration than the cells, causing water to passively diffuse out of the cells in an attempt to balance the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cells. This loss of water leads to dehydration of the unicellular organisms.
