C.
The major effects is depression of the central nervous system, as evidenced by headaches, lethargy, weakness, and confusion.
D.
Hypomagnesemia
E.
Anxiety, high fever, or an overdose of aspirin.
F.
Diuretic therapy and gastrointestinal suction w/o fluid replacement.
G.

H.
Treatment is treating the underlying disorder.
I.
When living cells are surrounded by a solution that has less solute than the cells swell from the extra fluid (overhydrate).

27.
No energy is needed. Water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
incorrect
28.
Requires energy. Move molecules and ions against a concentration gradient, from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration.
incorrect
29.
When living cells are surrounded by a solution that has greater concentration of solute than the cells, the water in the cells will move to the more concentrated solution and the cells will dehydrate and shrink.
incorrect
30.
No energy is needed. Subtances move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.
