If more convincing is necessary: combine the words you have in option with water, in Google; then you get: \"water resorption\" : 317 \"water reabsorption\" : 2710 (this is of course discussed less frequently than just absorption) \"water absorption\" : 46900 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-06 15:57:35 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- I\'ve got the message Reference: http://www.physiology.ubc.ca/Courses/P301-Sample%20ExamQs.pd... |
