Abstract
The amount of surface freshwaters on Earth is
remarkably small considering the human population
needing drinking water to survive and to ensure water
in their bodies is at that very important locale where
cells operate, the transcellular fluid. Like the fluid in
and on the planet, body fluid is highly mobile. Cells that
cause biomineralization contain and function within a
fluid fraction. The mineral bioapatite is constructed by
these cells in an environment containing a small
amount of transcellular fluid.
