| Plasma: a) What does it look like? b) What is its primary role? c) Extra details... | a) A straw coloured liquid. b) Carries all of the different types of cells contained in the blood. c) Carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product by cells in the body tissues, then dissolved in the blood plasma so it can be transported to the lungs. |
