Question:

In a 50 gm living tissue, what would be the amount of water?

15-25 gm

25-30 gm

70-90 gm

35-45 gm

Solution:

The correct option is D (35-45 gm). Water is the most abundant chemical compound in living organisms. In a cell, water occupies 70-90% of the total mass. Therefore, in a 50 gm living tissue, the amount of water would be approximately 35-45 gm (70-90% of 50 gm).
