Oxygen
Gas is carried mostly by the plasma in the blood. The plasma contains dissolved gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, which are transported to different parts of the body. Oxygen is transported from the lungs to the tissues, while carbon dioxide is carried from the tissues back to the lungs for elimination.
Blood plasma carries mostly water but contains also dissolved proteins, glucose, clotting actors, mineral irons, hormones and carbon dioxide as well.
Most of the active functions of plasma membranes are carried out by proteins.
The blood carries all of these materials throughout the body. However, most of them are dissolved in the plasma and are not carried by the erythrocytes.
Mainly water, plasma proteins, minerals and other dissolved materials carried eg urea, glucose etc
Yes, it is attached to the red blood cells which travels around the body via the plasma.

Glucose is carried through the circulation in the blood plasma.
Plasma is a component of blood. The materials that are carried in plasma are minerals, vitamins, glucose, carbon dioxide, hormones and urea.
Oxygen
Yes. Whole blood minus the blood cells leaves you with plasma, which includes all dissolved materials.
Glucose is carried in the blood plasma.However, glucose can affect hemoglobin, and a test, glycolated hemoglobin, can be used to gauge average plasma glucose level over long periods of time
The plasma carries dissolved food
only about 1.5% of the oxygen transported is carried in the dissolved form
Plasma, in blood, is 90% water, and the rest is glucose, dissolved proteins, mineral ions, carbon dioxide, hormones and clotting factors.
Plasma is the liquid portion of blood. Plasma carries nutrients to the cells of the various organs of the body and carries waste out. It also carries blood cells, and heat to maintain homeostasis.
