What is the percentage of intracellular fluid out of the total body fluid?
The human body is consisted of 60 % of water in adult males. In adult females, it is 55 % of water. The body is broken down into the following compartments: * Intracellular fluid makes up ( 2/3) of body water. * Extracellular fluid makes up ( 1/3) of body water. To Be Summarized: * Total Body Water = 60% of Body Weight * Intracellular fluid = 40% of Body Weight * Extracellular fluid = 20% of Body Weight Question Answered By: Ali Sabah Al-Takmachi, UOS, College: Medicine

What amount of a persons total body water is plasma?
The body fluid is broken down into compartments, The ICF and the ECF. ICF is Intra-cellular fluid, which is the fluid inside the body's cells. This makes up 2/3 of your body's total fluid. ECF is is Extra-Cellular fluid, and found anywhere outside a cell. This makes up 1/3 of your body's total fluid amount. The ECF also contains the plasma which makes up about 1/3 of that, or roughly 3 Liters. The actual fluid levels are always changing depending on the situation, but the ratios remain constant.

What describes the notion that an object floats if the buoyant force on the object is equal to the objects weight?
Bouyancy is defined as the force on a object submerged in a fluid equal to the difference in weight of the object and the fluid displaced. If the total weight of the object is the same as the same volume of the fluid, the bouyant force is zero, and the object will stay in the same place.
What is true percentage?
In baking, you may see recipes quantified as a percentage of flour weight. So 1% salt added to a bread mix in baking, would be 1% of the flour weight added to the mix as opposed to the logical "mathematical" percentage which would be 1% of the total mix weight. True percentage in baking is the more logical and "mathematical" method of calculating a percentage- the way you are taught in school!!
