Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
“Bound water that strongly acts with specific hydrophilic sites on non-aqueous constituents to form a monolayer coverage."The following statement refers to
A
Free water
B
Multilayer water
C
Constitutional water
D
Vicinal water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Types of bound water associated within proteins. Types of water associated with proteins are of 5 types-structural, monolayer, hydrophobic, hydration, unfreezable and capillary.

Detailed explanation-2: -chemically bound water (referred to as combined water or hydrate water), which is a constituent of the hydrate phases and non-evaporable at 105 °C.

Detailed explanation-3: -These two types of water (intracellular water and cell wall water) are known as physically bound water or simply bound water [4]. Based on its mobility, bound water present inside the cells (intracellular water) is referred to as loosely bound water (LBW) while cell wall water is termed strongly bound water (SBW) [5] .
