Both gases and dissolved substances are found in blood. Gases, primarily oxygen and carbon dioxide, are transported in the blood, with oxygen primarily bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells and carbon dioxide dissolved in plasma or bound to proteins. Additionally, blood contains various dissolved substances, including nutrients, hormones, electrolytes, and waste products, which are crucial for bodily functions and maintaining homeostasis.
water, I had that question in my open book test and found the answer on the book.
The main dissolved gases in water are oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. These gases can enter water through the atmosphere, aquatic plants, and from the decomposition of organic matter. The concentration of dissolved gases in water can affect the health of aquatic organisms and overall water quality.
Other than as free gases in the lungs, gases are either dissolved in the blood plasma or absorbed by the protein hemoglobin found in red blood cells. Hemoglobin mostly absorbs oxygen, carbon monoxide, or carbon dioxide and carries these gases between the cells and the lungs. Nitrogen gas dissolves in blood plasma and body tissues, and is also a metabolic byproduct (as urea).
yes
Internal Respiration."Internal respiration is the diffusion of gases between blood and interstitial fluid across the endothelial cells of capillary walls."Says my Anatomy Book.
In blood, the solvent is primarily water, which makes up about 90% of its composition. The solutes in blood include various substances such as proteins, electrolytes, hormones, gases, and nutrients dissolved or suspended in the plasma.
one of them is oxygen
Homogeneous mixtures are the type of mixtures that air and blood are labeled.
Blood "plasma" is the liquid outside of cells. In it are various dissolved substances. There are inorganic salts, also called "electrolytes" which are present in the form of dissolved ions. There are also plasma proteins. Some plasma proteins transport lipids, which are insoluble in water. The only way the lipids can travel in the blood is if they are bound to proteins. Immunoglobulins, another protein, are also found in the blood plasma. They are antibodies that help fight viruses that invade the body. There are also blood clotting factors in the blood plasma. Other substances in the blood plasma are nutrients, metabolic waste products, respiratory gases, and hormones.
The water is the solvent; all other dissolved substances, including gases are solutes.
Approximately 90% of blood plasma is water. This water carries dissolved nutrients, gases, waste products, and other substances throughout the body.

Dissolved gases and ions
Water makes up the majority of the volume of blood plasma, comprising about 90-92%. The remaining volume consists of various dissolved substances, such as electrolytes, proteins, hormones, nutrients, gases, and waste products.
