Question 3 (6 points) Medical personnel use an intravenous (IV) saline solution (water with salt added) to treat dehydration in their patients. Why do you think they use a saltwater solution rather than using distilled (pure) water? Explain the ramifications of using distilled water to treat dehydration and the effects on living systems. Make specific reference to cellular conditions.
