Have you ever wondered how much of your body is water? The percentage of water varies according to your age and gender. Here's a look at how much water is inside you. The amount of water in the human body ranges from 50-75%. The average adult human body is 50-65% water, averaging around 57-60%. The percentage of water in infants is much higher, typically around 75-78% water, dropping to 65% by one year of age.
Opium (poppy tears, lachryma papaveris) is the dried latex obtained from the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). Opium latex contains approximately 12% of the analgesic alkaloid morphine, which is processed chemically to produce heroin and other synthetic opioids for medicinal use and for the illegal drug trade.
This is our site about the drug, Opium that Kevin and I researched about for our drug project for Health Class. The Opium poppy is considered the âgrandfatherâ of opiates because they all come from the Opium poppy. Opiates are drugs that contain Opium and its derivatives. Opium is basically the white latex obtained from the seed pod of the Opium poppy. Once it is dried it could be smoked or eaten.
