Plasma is a pale yellow sticky liquid. It makes up 55% of the blood's volume. The components of plasma are water 92%, dissolved protein 8%, glucose, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, urea, uric acid, CO2, hormones, antibodies. Plasma carries dissolved materials such as glucose, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, salts, carbon dioxide, urea, and hormones. It also carries heat energy.
Glucose would be what your body converts into ATP, the body's energy source.
The rest of components of blood are:
Red Blood Cells transport oxygen. Haemoglobin has a base of iron. The iron joins with oxygen in areas of high oxygen concentration (in the lungs and releases oxygen in areas of low oxygen concentration in the body cells.
White Blood Cells (leucocytes) are colourless cells and possess a nucleus. They function in defending the body against pathogens. Some 'feed' on pathogens byphagocytosis. These white blood cells are called phagocytes. Others, the lymphocytes produce antibodies, the specific defense proteins. They are made by the bone marrow and lymphatic tissue.
