Plasma contains proteins (to help blood to clot), and it transports substances through the blood stream. The plasma also contains glucose and other dissolved nutrients. It can also carry water, salts, and enzymes.  Plasma has a very light yellow color, such as the color of straw.

The main purpose: is to<u> transport nutrients, hormones, and proteins</u> to different parts of the body!

actually plasma have a lot of functions such as maintain blood volume, carry out waste, transfer nutrients around the body, fight off viruses or bacteria, protein, electrolytes that have calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium which is very important for the body each of those have a specific role they play in the body, it transfers metabolic residues...etc

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Polyploidy

Explanation:

Polyploidy can be defined as a rapid method of speciation that has been important in the history of flowering plants.

In plants, it involves the possession of two complete sets of chromosomes and it leads to the origin of new species.

Hence, the two sets of chromosomes comprises of triploidy (69 chromosomes) and tetraploidy (92 chromosomes).

Complete the following sentence: "When ionic compounds dissociate in water, each ion is surrounded by a sphere of hydration: ___
Archy [21]

Answer:

Cations, Oxygen, Anions, Hydrogen

Explanation:

Water molecule is polar (meaning it has dipoles). The oxygen having a higher atomic mass attracts most of the electron cloud of the molecule becoming partially negatively charged and leaving the hydrogen end to be partially positive.

An Ionic compound is one between two atoms where one donates its electrons to the other for both to achieve stable configuration. The two atoms, therefore, become charged and are bought together by electrostatic forces.

When an ionic compound is put in water, it dissociates into its ions (anions and cations) They attract and repel with the polar water molecules depending on their charges. The anions (negatively charged ion) are surrounded by water molecules with the hydrogen ends and the cations are surrounded by water molecules with the oxygen ends.

How does the feild that surrounds the electromagnet differ from the Earths magnetic field
tino4ka555 [31]

The differences between the geomagnetism and electromagnetism are given below.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Geomagnetism is defined as the magnetic field that is located all around the earth. Whereas electromagnetism is defined as the magnetic field that is produced due to passing of electricity through a conductor.

The geomagnetism is formed because of the molten elements of iron etc which are present inside Earth's core, and are continuously moving. It mostly resembles the solid block magnet in its field characteristics. But electromagnetism is different. It can be changed according to the current input which isn't possible for Earth’s magnetic field.
