Which of the following statements concerning the past and present importance of salt in human societies is FALSE? Group of answer choices Salt was not only useful in treating wounds but can also reduce goiters and decrease the incidence of intellectual disabilities. In a world before refrigeration systems existed, salt was one of the most common ways to preserve fish and meat. Salt gathering or salt trade was crucial throughout the Mediterranean Basin from the Roman Empire through the Renaissance. China was the first country to centralize its salt production and place a tax on salt as a revenue source to fund their empire. For centuries salt was used to treat wounds, so it was a crucial resource for large scale military activities or preparation for war.

Which of the following is true about salinity Bulk of salinity found in the solution is in the form of Sodium ion only. Salts found in the atlantic ocean are different from salts found in the pacific ocean. Salinity of the ocean is not affected by evaporation and precipitation none of the above Which of the following is true about Dissolved gases in seawater the composition of the dissolved gases match the composition of the atmosphere The higher the pressure, the lower the amount of dissolved gases Temperature does not affect the dissolved gases in seawater higher salinity lowers the amount of dissolved gases This step in classical water treatment involves dosing of positive ions to stabilize negatively charged pollutants flocculation sedimentation purification none of the above

Which of the following statements is not true for freshwater fish? They pump solutes in through their gills. They lose water through the gills by osmosis. They produce large volumes of dilute urine. They lose some solutes in their urine. They do not drink. Which of the following statements is not true for saltwater fish? They lose water through the gills by osmosis. They pump solutes out through their gills. They produce large amounts of dilute urine. The concentration of solutes in their internal fluids is much lower than in the surrounding. They drink a lot of seawater. One advantage of excreting wastes as urea rather than ammonia is that urea can be exchanged for Na+. Urea does not affect the osmoregulatory gradient. Urea is less toxic than ammonia. Urea is less concentrated than ammonia. Urea requires more water for excretion than ammonia. Which of the following minerals is INCORRECTLY associated with its use in animals? Sodium - important in nerve function. Phosphorus - ingredient of nucleic acids. Iron - regulation of metabolic rate. Potassium - important in nerve function. Calcium - construction and maintenance of bone.
