Question
Chapter 40.2, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The effect of changes in the intracellular fluid volume on the intracellular solute concentration.
Introduction: Water is the main component in the bodies of animals. Many solutes ions like Na+ and K+ are dissolved in the water content of an animal’s body. Water and ions maintain the homeostasis of the organism.
