c) Explain how you know this by looking at the microscopic image of the cells
in Molly’s intes9ne. You must include three pieces of evidence from the
picture.
1.the image shows a high molecules of salt inside the intes;ne
2.the image shows a high amount of water molecules inside the intes;ne
3.the image shows an few salt and water molecules outside the cell
d)explain how you know this by looking at images of Molly hand
Molly’s hand are wrinkled and this is a sign of secretory diarrhea due to the
loss of salt and water
e) Explain how you know this from Molly’s heart rate reading
Con;nuous passage of loose stool results in loose of electrolytes and body
fluids which in turn drops heart rates.
f) In the space below, list reasons why you know that this is not the other
type of diarrhea. Use evidence from the tests that Molly’s doctor performed.
Because of the presence of salt molecules in the intes;ne
g) Describe how ac9ve transport and osmosis caused Molly’s diarrhea. (Hint:
Use the reading on the front page.) Ac;ve transport is the process by which
cell use energy to move molecules across their membrane against their
concentra;on gradient. In the case of Molly’s diarrhea , ac;ve transport may
be involved in the transporta;on of salt. osmosis ( passive transport) there
was passage of excessive water.
