It’s true
In addition to bone mineral and organic matrix, water is an abundant component of bone, accounting for up to 25% by weight. Much of this water occurs in pore spaces responsible for nutrient diffusion and contributing to the viscoelastic properties of the material.
About 60%
In adult men, about 60% of their bodies are water. However, fat tissue does not have as much water as lean tissue. In adult women, fat makes up more of the body than in men, so about 55% of their bodies are made of water.
By the colour of the urine
The easiest way to know if you're drinking enough fluid is to look at the colour of your urine. If you're drinking enough water, your urine will be clear or pale yellow. A darker yellow means you aren't drinking enough water.
Around 83%
Water is of major importance to all living things; in some organisms, up to 90% of their body weight comes from water. The lungs of a human are composed of about 83% water.
Intoxication
Water intoxication is a rare phenomenon that occurs due to an excessive intake of water, and when the amount of water intake exceeds that of water excretion in the kidney. As a result, the sodium concentration in the blood is diluted, and hyponatremia develops. Hyponatremia means that the sodium level in the blood is below normal. Your body needs sodium for fluid balance, blood pressure control, as well as the nerves and muscles. The normal blood sodium level is 135 to 145 milliequivalents/litre (mEq/L). Hyponatremia occurs when your blood sodium level goes below 135 mEq/L.
It is bipolar
Water is made up of two hydrogen (H) atoms and an oxygen (O) atom. It is unique in that it is bipolar, where the molecule has a slightly positive charge on one side (where hydrogen atoms are attached), and slightly negative on the other (just oxygen).
It’s true
Water has an interesting property. It is kind of 'sticky'. It likes to stick to itself and other objects. That's why water forms round droplets. Not all liquids do this. This ‘stickiness’ helps bring water from the roots of plants to the leaves. Water molecules rise along thin straws called xylem in plants, clinging to each other and to the walls of the tube. They are pulled upwards as water evaporates from the leaves at the top of the plant.
