Actually 55% of blood volume
Depends on which plasma you're talking about. Plasma as in blood carries blood cells to and `fro in our body, this yellowish liquid making up more than half of our body supply. Plasma as in Physics is something entirely different.

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.
Blood is a mixture of cells and a watery liquid, called plasma, that the cells float in. It also contains other things like nutrients (such as sugar), hormones, clotting agents, and waste products to be flushed out of the body.
BLOOD PLASMA is the yellow liquid component of blood, in which the blood cells in whole blood would normally be suspended. It makes up about 55% of the total blood volume. It is mostly water (90% by volume) and contains dissolved proteins, glucose, clotting factors, mineral ions, hormones and carbon dioxide (plasma being the main medium for excretory product transportation)
Blood is thicker than water. (Plasma is the main component of blood.)
Human blood plasma is made of blood cells(other than the red blood cell), nutrients/minerals and water.
Fraction of what? about 70% of a 70 kg adult is water --- or about 50 liters blood volume is about 5 liters (or 10%) but remember, about half the blood is cells (mostly red), so the plasma is about 2 and 1/2 liters
Blood cells, plasma, and platelets all carry blood, platelets help blood clot and move red & white blood cells around, Plasma is the liquid part of the blood that holds blood cells and gets moved around by platelets, and blood cells move around in your blood fighting infections & protecting your wounds by forming scabs.
In blood : Plasma is available in blood ,it is liquid part of blood (including dissolved chemicals but not the cells and platelets). In Physics : Plasma is available in electrically conducting medium in which there are roughly equal numbers of positively and negatively charged particles,and they are produced when the atoms in a gas become ionized. *Note : more than 99% of the matter in the universe exists in the plasma state.
The straw coloured liquid that makes up a lot of blood is called Plasma. Plasma is not blood type specific, so it can be given immediately in event of blood loss when the casualties blood group is not known. The body can regenerate a pint of plasma in about a day, so it is possible to donate this more often than a donation of normal blood, as the red cells take longer to regenerate.
Red blood cells have the highest density among all blood components. They are denser than the liquid portion of blood (plasma) and white blood cells.
