You get home from school and grab a bag of potato chips before settling onto the couch to binge watch your newest Netflix series. A few hours later, you notice that all of the chips are gone and you feel very thirsty. You get up to go to the bathroom before grabbing a drink and notice your urine is exceptionally dark in color. Apply what you know about osmosis to explain what has happen to the cells in your body. Include the name for the type of solution the cells were in after eating and how the cells attempted to maintain homeostasis despite these salty conditions.

The movement of a solution over a semipermeable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration is known as osmosis.

The intracellular fluid came out to get dissolved with the salt by eating potato chips.

The solution is hypertonic.

The cells maintained homeostasis by moving the cellular fluid from higher concentration to lower concentration.

Thus, this is the explanation to the question.

Eating the potato chips created an hypertonic exracellular solution surrounding for the cells within your body.

Explanation:

Potato chips have a lot of salt in them, and the salts from eating a bag of potato chips causes the extracellular fluid in the body to become concentrated with salt (a hypertonic Solution). In response to this, intercellular fluids are ejected to the sorrounding by osmotic movement, to balance out the salt concentration of the fluid outside. This action can lead to some cell shrinking and dying from excess water loss, and that is seen in the dark color of your urine.
