Q&A

• How were misconceptions about distilled water addressed in the video?

  Distilled water misconceptions were debunked through scientific experiments, and viewers are encouraged to verify scientific facts through experiments. Fishy Science is committed to uncovering mysteries of science.

• What impact does salt water have on red blood cells?

  Salt water with a higher concentration causes red blood cells to shrink through osmosis, while distilled water leads to swelling and bursting of red blood cells due to hemolysis. Fluid of significantly different concentration entering the bloodstream has notable effects.

• What was observed in the video regarding blood samples and microscopy?

  A small scratch on hand was used to collect blood samples, which were then distributed equally among three glass slides. Saline, salt water, and distilled water were added to the blood samples, followed by the observation of red blood cells appearance under the microscope.

• What potential hazards are associated with distilled water consumption?

  Distilled water can disrupt water reabsorption in the small intestine and should be used with caution when entering the bloodstream.

• Is drinking distilled water recommended for long-term consumption?

  Distilled water is pure but lacks essential inorganic salts, making long-term consumption not recommended. Ordinary water is advised for bodily functions.

• What happens when blood is mixed with distilled water?

  Mixing blood with distilled water leads to interesting phenomena, but some claim it has health benefits.

• What is distilled water?

  Distilled water is 100% pure water without any organic matter or minerals.

• 00:00 Distilled water is 100% pure water without any organic matter or minerals. When mixed with blood, it leads to interesting phenomena. Some believe it has health benefits.
• 00:43 Distilled water is pure but lacks essential inorganic salts, making long-term consumption not recommended. It's not significantly harmful, but ordinary water is advised for bodily functions.
• 01:20 Distilled water can disrupt water reabsorption in the small intestine, potentially causing diarrhea and should be used with caution when entering the bloodstream.
