An electrolyte is a substance that produces an electrically conducting solution when dissolved in a polar solvent, such as water.

The dissolved electrolyte separates into cations and anions, which disperse uniformly through the solvent.

Electrically, such a solution is neutral.

If an electric potential is applied to such a solution, the cations of the solution are drawn to the electrode that has an abundance of electrons, while the anions are drawn to the electrode that has a deficit of electrons.

The movement of anions and cations in opposite directions within the solution amounts to a current.

This includes most soluble salts, acids, and bases.

Some gases, such as hydrogen chloride, under conditions of high temperature or low pressure can also function as electrolytes.

Electrolyte solutions can also result from the dissolution of some biological (e.g., DNA, polypeptides) and synthetic polymers (e.g., polystyrene sulfonate), termed "polyelectrolytes", which contain charged functional groups.

A substance that dissociates into ions in solution acquires the capacity to conduct electricity.

Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate are examples of electrolytes, informally known as "lytes".

A drink mix, or powdered drink mix is a processed-food product, a powder designed to mix usually with water to produce a beverage resembling fruit juice or soda in flavor.

Another type of drink mix is represented by products that must be mixed into milk.

A membrane transport protein (or simply transporter) is a membrane protein involved in the movement of ions, small molecules, or macromolecules, such as another protein, across a biological membrane.

Transport proteins are integral transmembrane proteins; that is they exist permanently within and span the membrane across which they transport substances.

The proteins may assist in the movement of substances by facilitated diffusion or active transport.

The two main types of proteins involved in such transport are broadly categorized as either channels or carriers.

In physiology, dehydration is a deficit of total body water, with an accompanying disruption of metabolic processes.

Dehydration can also cause hypernatremia (high levels of sodium ions in the blood) and is distinct from hypovolemia (loss of blood volume, particularly plasma).

Water is a transparent and nearly colorless chemical substance that is the main constituent of Earth's streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living organisms.

Its chemical formula is H2O, meaning that its molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, that are connected by covalent bonds.

Water strictly refers to the liquid state of that substance, that prevails at standard ambient temperature and pressure; but it often refers also to its solid state (ice) or its gaseous state (steam or water vapor).

It also occurs in nature as snow, glaciers, ice packs and icebergs, clouds, fog, dew, aquifers, and atmospheric humidity.
