P.756 left column 2nd paragraph: "Intracellular water comprises approximately 80% of the mass of most living cells (primary source). Cells with considerably lower water content do, however, function normally. Cysts of Artemia salina (brine shrimp) with as much as 60% dry matter exhibit "conventional metabolism" (BNID 114793)." |
