Question
why does drinking saltwater cause dehydration? because it is neutral and passes through the body because it pulls water out of the body because it pulls water into the body
Brief Explanations
Salt - water has a higher concentration of solutes (salts) than the cells in the body. Through osmosis, water moves from an area of lower solute concentration (cells) to an area of higher solute concentration (the salt - water in the digestive tract), thus pulling water out of the body.
