The ultimate cause of death for the subjects in this article is hyponatremia. This is when one intakes more water than it outputs causing the kidneys to be unable to process the water fast enough. The cells will expand to contain excess water which in of itself poses no problem, but when there is too much water it will eventually leak into the skull. These cells can not expand leading to headache, nausea, vomiting,coma, respiratory arrest, and eventually death.
Through osmosis water is transferred through semipermeable membranes. A cell membrane is semipermeable and will let water pass from a hypotonic area to a hypertonic area this is meant to stabilize the number of solvents inside the cell. This is fatal when too much water is being taken in and there is no hypertonic place for the water to belong so it causes the cell to expand which in turn causes headache, nausea, vomiting,coma, respiratory arrest, and eventually death.
The kidneys maintain a stable water amount and are responsible for controlling the amount of water in the human body. It could not save the subjects in last week's article because when one intakes more than it outputs the kidneys can not process the amount of water causing cells to swell until water reaches the skull causing headache, nausea, vomiting,coma, respiratory arrest, and eventually death.
This article states that, “ You should balance what you’re drinking with what you’re sweating.” This means that one should only intake what they output. The kidneys regulate water ,but will not function correctly if one intakes more than they output. If one does not abide by these rules then the body’s cells will expand causing headache, nausea, vomiting,coma, respiratory arrest, and eventually death.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid is made up of six smaller molecules. One is deoxyribose which is a sugar. Additionally, DNA has a phosphate molecule and four nitrogenous bases. These are: adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine. They are situated in a double helix that has two long strands twisted around each other like a ladder. The twisting lines or sides of the helix are alternating sugar and phosphate molecules. The connecting lines are made of two bases joined together with either two or three weak hydrogen bonds.
Before a cell reproduces it must replicate and copy its DNA . DNA replication happens in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes and the nucleus of eukaryotes. The process of DNA replication is the same for both of these cells and occurs through these steps:

Before a cell reproduces it must replicate and copy its DNA . DNA replication happens in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes and the nucleus of eukaryotes. The process of DNA replication is the same for both of these cells and occurs through these steps:
- DNA gyrase is an enzyme that separates the double helix.
- Another enzyme called helicase unwinds the double helix.
- Three proteins called single strand binding proteins bind to each side and keep them separate.
- A third enzyme called DNA polymerase adds new nucleotides to each strand of DNA.
- The new DNA is checked by the DNA polymerase.
- A fourth enzyme called DNA ligase joins the fragments back into one long strand.
- The new strands wind up to form a double helix
