What is a Deficiency of Water in the Body

Question

What is a deficiency of water in the body?
A) diffusion
B) dehydration
C) endocytosis
D) hypertension

Accepted Answer

Dehydration is a deficiency of water in the body, which can lead to various health issues such as dry skin, headaches, fatigue, constipation, and even organ failure in severe cases. Diffusion is the process of molecules moving from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while endocytosis is the process by which a cell takes in substances by engulfing them in a vesicle. Hypertension, on the other hand, is a condition characterized by high blood pressure and is not directly related to a deficiency of water in the body.
