only about 1.5% of the oxygen transported is carried in the dissolved form
The concentration of oxygen in plasma is around 75-100 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). This dissolved oxygen in plasma plays a critical role in transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body.
Plasma is the forth state of matter, beyond that of a gas. In comparison with a gas it is far more dispursed. Plasma is also a solution found in the blood which contains platelets, bloods cells and salts etc. On the basis that salts are dissolved in this, you could say this form of plasma would be a solution.
When matter is subjected to the conditions necessary to create plasma it disrupts molecular bonds. Since CO2 has oxygen atoms bonded to the carbon, when it is ionized into plasma, the bonds will be disrupted and the plasma will contain separate carbon and oxygen atoms. A very small fraction of the CO2 might persist as molecular ions but most of them would be CO ions, not the full CO2.
Plasma volume typically increases with altitude training due to the body's adaptive response to the lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes. This increase in plasma volume helps improve oxygen delivery to the muscles during exercise, which can enhance endurance performance.
To get the same amount of oxygen to dissolve in plasma as carbon dioxide, you would need to increase the partial pressure of oxygen in the gas phase. This increase in pressure would drive more oxygen molecules to dissolve into the plasma to reach equilibrium with the gas phase. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is determined by Henry's Law, which states that the amount of gas dissolved is directly proportional to its partial pressure in the gas phase.

Red blood cells.
becoz the plasma is not supposed to.
In stars.In stars.In stars.In stars.
Yes, oxygen can be in a plasma state at very high temperatures. When exposed to extreme heat or electrical discharges, oxygen gas can ionize and form a plasma. This plasma state is often found in natural phenomena like lightning or in industrial processes such as plasma cutting.
The term for the component of a solution that is the lesser quantity is the "solute."
Oxygen is not a solution, it is an element.
No, Plasma is the liquid solution that blood cells are suspended in.
simple diffusion. Oxygen is a small, nonpolar molecule that can pass freely through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane. This process does not require energy and is driven by the concentration gradient of oxygen on either side of the membrane.
An isosmotic solution with plasma would have an osmolality of approximately 280-300 mOsm/kg, which is similar to the osmolality of human plasma. This ensures that there is no net movement of water across cell membranes when in contact with plasma, maintaining cell volume.
Isotonic
It is still oxygen, merely dissolved into a solution of oxygen and whatever else is in the solution.
