Food, urea, hormones, ions, carbon dioxide, antibodies, plasma proteins and other substances dissolved in water.
'
Also, ions of sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride and hydrogen carbonate are present.
'
Proteins such as fibrinogen (needed for clotting), globulins (include the antibodies which fight against bacteria) and albumin are all present and important parts of the plasma.

Transport protein that provides a tubelike opening in the plasma membrane through which particles can diffuse?
Channel Protein.
What makes up a selectively permeable membrane?
Plasma membrane filters what the cell needs and keeps out what will harm it. this property is called selective permeability.
Which of the following required the most ATP to move the molecule across a plasma membrane?
Ion moving against a concentration gradient
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.
What is the role of transport proteins within the plasma membrane?
The membranes around cells and even around some organelles do not allow much to go in and out. If the substance is too large, it can't move in without help. If the charge is 'incorrect', it needs help as well.
Does passive transport uses the cell wall?
Passive transport occurs inly with plasma membrane.
What type of plasma membrane transport is used for exchange?
Diffusion
What is the function of the plasma?
Plasma-It carries fibrinogens Fibrinogens-Material necessary for blood clotting
What is the difference between passive and active transport across the plasma membrane?
Active transport is ATP dependent, whereas passive transport uses only the kinetic energy of the particles for movement across the plasma membrane- mastering A and P homework-
Is plasma membrane is more permeable to K than Na during rest?
No, this is because the transport of K and Na ion across the plasma membrane require active transport and this require ATP.
Which transport mechanisms moves materials across a plasma membrane against an apparent concentration gradient?
active transport
What covers all organelles and regulates transport of materials into and out of them?
plasma membranes
What type of plasma membrane transport is used for gas exchange?
Diffusion
Carrier molecules in the plasma membrane are only required for active transport?
False
What ships products to plasma membrane or outside or other organelles?
The transport vesicle.
What organelle is involved in passive transport in both plant and animal?
the plasma membrane.
What is the role of transport and channel proteins within the fluid mosaic of the plasma membrane?
They allow movement of salts and sugars through the plasma membrane
