TRUE or FALSE: Without hydrogen bonds, water on Earth would have turned to steam at -91°C. If I told you that there were 42 L of water in the average human body and that 2/3 of it was intracellular water: a. Then 25% of total body water has to come from extracellular water. b. Then it is correct to say that an adult blood volume is ~28L of fluid. c. Then there is ~28L of intracellular water. d. This is the same as saying that there is 4.2 x 10^4 kL of water in the body.
