Plasma is usually straw colored and is the blood devoid of red blood cells. It contains WBC which has immunological functions. It carries with it dissolved carbon dioxide, hormones, antibodies, immuno-globulins, salts, glucose, urea and many other biochemicals including nitogenous wastes.

Needed by all plants to carry nutrients to cells and wastes away from cells?
water
Blood consists of cells and a liquidWhat is the name of the liquid?
Blood consists of plasma, blood cells, and platelets
What is the four components of blood?
The four major components in blood are: -Plasma -Platelets -Red Blood Cells -White Blood Cells
What are the 4 parts that make up your blood?
White blood cells Red blood cells Blood plasma Platelets
What part of the blood transports nutrients hormones enzymes and waste materials to and from the cells of the body?
The plasma component of the blood, contained within the cardiovascular system, transports hormones and nutrients.
What does the circulatory system carry away from the body cells?
lymph node and plasma :D
How do the cells in multicelluar organisims get the resources they need to stay alive?
In the human, filtration of the blood plasma produces extracellular fluid which has nutrients for neighboring cells. Blood cells and blood plasma carry nutrients to and wastes away from the cells.
The name of the cell that carries oxygen to the cells and carries away carbon dioxide is called what?
There ain't none ... the red blood cells carry oxygen to the cells, CO2 is carried away in the plasma.
What system takes food and oxygen to each cell and carries away the waste?
Plasma carries oxygen to and from cells. Plasma is 90% water.Oxygen and carbon dioxide attaches to the hemoglobin in red blood cells.
Does plasma make up the largest part of the blood?
yes,plasma makes up a little more than half of the blood. Your blood has several different parts. Each part has a different job. The biggest part of your blood is a straw-colored liquid which is plasma. The cells in your body depend on the blood's plasma to carry food from the digestive system to your cells. Plasma also carries away waste from the cells.
How does the blood carry oxygen?
By the haemoglobin in the red blood cells and by plasma
Do plasma carry food from the digestive system to your body cells?
true
How much oxygen the blood can carry depends on the quantity of plasma or red blood cells?
Red blood cells.
What do capillaries carry to your body's cells and away from the cells?
blood
Which gas does blood carry to the cells of the body What else does it carry to the cells?
It carries oxygen and carbon dioxide away from the cells of the body.* * * * *Not so.In general, it carries oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide away from the cells.
Does plasma carry oxygen?
When oxygen enters the bloodstream through the lungs it generally binds to red blood cells (more specifically the hemoglobin within red blood cells), which are carried along within the plasma. While some unbound oxygen may become diffused inside the plasma itself it is not the primary or intended mean of oxygen transport throughout the body. In short, plasma doesn't carry oxygen, but instead carries the cells that carry oxygen.
Plasma carries food from the digestive system to your body cells?
Normally we would say that nutrients are carried in the blood, but you are correct, it is the plasma portion of the blood that carries nutrients, as compared to the red blood cells which carry oxygen.
