Question: What is the primary route of water loss from the body?

Question: Why are water balance and electrolyte balance considered interdependent?

Answer Options: Electrolytes are dissolved in water, so a change in the amount of one will affect the concentration of the other; Water is a type of electrolyte, so any change in one will cause a change in the other; Water is repelled by the presence of electrolytes, so the more electrolytes present, the more water is excreted from the body; Electrolytes incorporate water molecules into their molecular structure, so changing the amount of either will alter the makeup of the fluids of the body

Answer: Electrolytes are dissolved in water, so a change in the amount of one will affect the concentration of the other
