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

Did the enzymes from Claire’s small intestine breaks down the protein at a low, normal or high rate?

Answer: low rate

Explanation:

Claire is a Great Dane who was losing weight despite the fact that she is eating. Claire doesn't have an increase in appetite and also doesn't have enough energy that is required for her to play.

Claire is losing weight because food the enzymes in her body doesn't break down the food that she eats. When compared to a dog that was healthy, the enzymes from Claire's small intestine broke down protein at a low rate.:

When a neuron is activated by a stimulus, its plasma membrane will change until it reaches a membrane potential of about 40 mV.

grandymaker [24]

Answer: It is approximately the membrane potential at which the electrochemical gradient for Na+ is zero.

Explanation:

The charge in plasma membrane occurs with diffusion and electric fields.

For example, if there are two solutions, let's assume solution X and Solution Y are separated by a porous barrier (to diffuse in equal proportions).

The fundamental principle of diffusion states that solution from a high concentration diffuses to a lower concentration.

For instance, if the X solution contains 40 sodium ions and 40 chloride ions, the Y solution only has 30 sodium and 30 chloride ions. Due to the diffusion, these two solutions will mix and reach a steady-state.

The like charges repel, and opposite charges attract.
