the main problem with drinking salt water is that it dehydrates you more as you drink it (instead of hydrating you) due to the large amount of salt inside the water.
thus, drinking salt water will only aggravate your problem if you're stuck on an island with no fresh water.
not to mention that if you're drinking water from anywhere that has boats or...anything pass through it, chances are the water will be filled with chemicals or other nasty things.
Your cells become hypotonic (they lose water due to salt intake) and shrivel up and die
You start to get all wavy and you feel all weird and feel like you are gunna faint. You also start to get weak. Then you have a belly ache. And a head ache.

What happens to your cells when you drink a lot of salt water?
You become dehydrated- water leaves the cells trying to dilute the salt water.
Why couldn't you drink salt water?
Well, you could drink salt water if you wanted to. But drinking too much salt water can be deadly. What happens is the salt in the water draws water out of your cells. That's why your skin feels dry when you come out of the ocean. So if you put that salty water into your body, the same thing happens, but internally.In short, drinking salt water is actually dehydrating yourself.
What would happen to your cells in your body if you drink salt water?
you become dehydrated because thwe concentration of salt is in salt water than in your cells, so water flows out of your cells to balance the concentrations.
What happens when you drink salty water?
First of all, it won't be pleasant! Secondly, a little will do no harm, but a lot will make you go; mad.
What happens to cells in saltwater?
cells shrink because salt water is hypertonic solution.
What would happen to your cells if you were to drink salt water from the Pacific Ocean?
Because ocean water has a higher salt content that your cells (hypertonic), they would shrivel slightly.
What happens to Carrot cells in salt water?
Carrot cells placed in salt water will lose water due to osmosis, causing them to shrink and become wilted. The high concentration of salt in the water creates a hypertonic environment, leading to water leaving the carrot cells to try to balance the salt concentration.
What happens to a fresh water fishes cells if put in a salt water aquarium?
Nothing...they die....
What happens to plant cells when you put salt water on them?
When plant cells are exposed to salt water, water moves out of the cells through osmosis, causing the cells to lose turgor pressure and shrink. This process is known as plasmolysis. Continued exposure to salt water can eventually lead to the death of the plant cells.
Why you shouldn't drink salt water?
because you drink water to get rid of salt in your blood and if you drink salt water it just adds more salt
Why shouldn't we drink salt water?
Why shouldn't we drink salt water
What happens to the cells when the salt water is flushed out with distilled water?
When salt water is flushed out with distilled water, the concentration of salt outside the cells decreases. This creates a gradient that causes water to move into the cells through osmosis. As a result, the cells may swell and potentially burst due to the influx of water.
