If the phenomenon of osmosis didn’t exist which of the following diseases would NOT have been possible?
HIV AIDS
Cholera
Tuberculosis
All of the above
In Osmosis, water will move from its region of lower checmical potential (or concentration) to its region of lower chemical potential until equilibrium is reached.
• At equilibrium the two chambers should have the same water potential. For e.g. If you put a carrot in salty water, the salt water will "draw" the water from inside the carrot thus drying it.
• Cholera would not be possible without osmosis. The choleric bacteria populate in our intestines and begin to reverse the intestinal cells’ ionic orientation. In other words, it changes the way ions and, subsequently, water is transported in our intestines.
• when our ions’ orientations are switched, the intestinal cells are no longer able to absorb water into the body. It actually flows out. Now osmosis happens in the other direction and water moves from our intestinal cells into our intestines. This is what causes cholera’s deadly watery diarrhoea.
• This is why cholera can kill you so quickly, because it does not rely on how much water you consum
