An important property of plasma is that it is an ionized gas. It is the fourth state of matter and different from the other three because its free electrons are very mobile. This makes plasma a very good conductor of both heat an electricity.

What property of plasma and platelets allows them to be separated with a centrifuge?
Plasma and platelets have different densities, which allows them to be separated in a centrifuge. Because the platelets have a higher density than the serum and fibrin in plasma, they are pushed out of the plasma and collected at the bottom of the collection container.
At what temperature does water become a plasma?
Yes. If you heat anything enough, you can supply so much thermal energy that all the electrons will be "chased away" from the nuclei of the atoms, and a plasma will form. Plasma, which is the fourth member (though not the last) of the states of matter behind solids, liquids and gases, is just superheated material. And anything can be turned into a plasma. Including water. The sun is a big ball of plasma.
What property describes the plasma membrane's ability to regulate movement of molecules into and out of the cell?
permeability
Is the cytoskeleton in the plasma membrane?
No. It is attached to the plasma membrane though, which is important. The cytoskeleton gives cells shape and rigidity etc and so it is important for it to be attached to the plasma membrane. The cytoskeleton is composed of molecules that are located in the cytoplasm but that are attached to the plasma membrane via specific proteins. Hope that helps!
If a tiny hole is made in a plasma membrane it usually heals immediately and no harm results What property of the plasma membrane allows this?
The plasma membrane forms the external boundary of the cytoplasm of a cell. The fluid property of its lipid bilayer allows a tiny hole to heal.
What is important property of plasma?
it absorbs heat
Which type of property is the state of a substance?
The state is a property. Solid, liquid, gas, or plasma are the states.

Why is plasma important to the universe?
because if plasma didn't exist we wouldn't! The sun and all stars are made of plasma :-)
Is state property or chemical property?
Solid, liquid, gas and plasma (fundamental states of matter) are physical properties.
What is the most important action of plasma albumins?
Helping to maintain blood osmotic pressure is the most important action of plasma albumins.
What is the the function of proteins in the plasma membrane?
The proteins of the plasma serve the function of acting as porins. Porins are channels control the transport of substances in and out of the cell, imparting the membrane its property of semipermeabililty. Also, proteins make up 60-70% of the plasma membrane and thus form the bulk of it. Besides, the proteins are also involved in some important cellular reations.
Why is plasma in blood important?
used as a cleanser
What is plasma mostly compose of?
Blood plasma is mostly composed of water and proteins that is found in albumin. Plasma is a yellow color and is very important.
