◍ During cell injury caused by hypoxia, sodium and water move into the cell
because:A) during cell injury cause by hypoxia, sodium and water move
into the cell because:B) the pump that transports sodium out of the cell
cannot function because of a decrease in adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
levelsC) the osmotic pressure is increased, which pulls additional sodium
across the cell membraneD) oxygen is not available to bind with sodium to
maintain it outside of the cell.
Answer: Ans: C- the osmotic pressure is increased, which pulls additional
sodium across the cell membrane

of obese adults are slower than those of lean adultsC) the rates of urine
output of obese adults are higher than thos of lean adultsD) the thirst
receptors of the hypothalamus do not function effectively.
Answer: Ans: A- adipose cells contain little water because fat is water
repelling
