(a)

Summary Introduction

Introduction: Osmolarity refers to the number of particles in solution. It is a property of every solution, and a person can be compared with the osmolarities of different solutions as long as with the concentrations that are expressed in the same units.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the cell volume of the body will decrease or increase or remain unchanged after sweat loss.

Introduction: The term tonicity is used to describe a solution and how that solution would affect the cell volume.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The volume and osmolarity of the cell after the sweat loss.

Introduction: Osmolarity describes the number of osmotically active particles (ions or molecules) per liter of solution. It is expressed in osmoles per liter or for very dilute solutions, milliosmoles per liter.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the result for change in cell volume and osmolarity of the body matches with the above answers.

Introduction: Osmolarity and cell volume are interrelated. If the osmolarity of the cell increases, there is loss of water from the cell which decreases the cell volume.

Please help me answer this question, more than one answer given may be correct: Figure title: Hemolymph osmolality of crabs during different salinity acclimation. Dash lines represent osmolality of 5 ppt, 25 ppt and 33 ppt seawater (from bottom up). Significant differences are indicated by letters (p < 0.05, one-way ANOVA followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison). From this figure you can determine that these crabs are   Question 21 options:   limited osmoregulators   strict osmoregulators   strict osmoconformers   limited oxyconformers   strict oxyconformers
Which of the following best describes the changes between dilute (osmolarity 50mOsm/Kg) andconcentrated urine (osmolarity 1200mOsm/Kg)? a. Concentrated urine has more water than NaCl moleculesb. Concentrated urine has less water than NaCl moleculesc. Dilute urine has more NaCl than water moleculesd. Dilute urine has less water than NaCl molecules
Blood volume must be restored in a person who has lost large amounts of blood due to serious injury. This is often accomplished by infusing isotonic NaCl solution into the blood. Why is this more effective than infusing an isoosmotic solution of a penetrating solute, such as urea?
