Explains how a mixture of sugar-salt-water works to prevent dehydration and electroclyte loss. the video begins with a real-life example of an infant suffering with diarrohoea being prescribed oral rehydration therapy; shows how sugars, amino acids, and certain irons are moved across the plasma membrane by transport proteins. The two different plasma membranes of the enterocyte and their associated transport mechanisms are described and their role in transporting the glucose, sodium and water from the intestine into the bloodstream is explained.
