Before After Before After Before After
A Blue Blue Blue Blue Yellow Blue-black

3 Which statement about water is not correct?
A A large amount of heat energy is required to change the temperature of water.
B The forces of attraction between water molecules are hydrogen bonds.
C Water can dissolve ionic compounds.
D Water is a non-polar molecule.
Your answer [1]
4 A person weighing 75 kg contains 45 dm3 of body fluid.
Approximately 70% of this body fluid is contained within cells as intracellular fluid.
Researchers investigating the effects of water content on cell metabolism concluded that
metabolic activity is significantly inhibited when ~20% of its intracellular fluid has been lost.
Which option shows the volume of intracellular fluid at which metabolic activity of cells in this
person would be significantly inhibited?
A 6.3 dm3
B 9.0 dm3
C 25.2 dm3
D 31.5 dm3
