Does a specific part of your blood carry nutrients to your body (like red blood cells carry o2), or are they just floating around free in the plasma?
The main component of the blood that carries nutrients is plasma.
Plasma carries nutrients through the bloodstream, which acts as a transportation system for delivering nutrients to cells and tissues throughout the body.
Plasma carries a variety of nutrients, including glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
No, plasma does not carry all types of nutrients. It primarily carries water-soluble nutrients, while fat-soluble nutrients are transported by specialized carriers in the blood.
Yes, plasma can carry toxins and waste products, as it also plays a role in removing waste from the body through the liver and kidneys.
