🔍 Key Concepts

• Human hydration and kidneys – what happens when you drink liquids with very high salt content • Osmosis – how water moves in and out of your body’s cells when there is more salt outside than inside • Survival at sea guidance – standard advice in lifeboat/survival manuals about drinking seawater

💭 Think About

• Think about what your body must do to get rid of extra salt. Does this process require your body to use more or less water? • If you are already hot and sweating, what does adding more salt (without enough fresh water) do to your fluid balance? • Consider why every survival manual warns about or allows only very limited use of seawater. What danger are they trying to avoid?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you know the difference between preventing seasickness and making dehydration worse or better • Check which option matches standard survival training advice about seawater consumption • Eliminate any choices that suggest seawater is generally beneficial or safe to drink for long-term hydration
