Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fluid lost through sweating and respiration that evaporates from the skin and lungs without us being conscious of it is called "insensible water." Therefore, option C is the correct choice. Sensible water refers to the fluid that we are aware of, such as urine or sweat we can see or feel. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. Metabolic water is the water produced during catabolic reactions or cellular metabolism.
