Answer is 55%.

Blood is fluid connective tissue that consists of two main components, plasma and formed element. Blood plasma is a clear extracellular fluid, which is a mixture of proteins, enzymes, nutrients, wastes, hormones and gases. Formed elements are made up of the blood cells (red blood cells and white blood cells) and platelets. All formed elements are cells except for the platelets, which are tiny fragments of bone marrow cells.

The formed elements can be separated from plasma by centrifuge. On separation of blood components, it is evident that formed elements make up 45% of total blood volume while the plasma makes up 55% of the total volume.

Which traits are characteristic of single-celled organisms?
omeli [17]
B and C)
They often obtain most of their nutrients through the cell membrane as diffusion is able to take place passively and so at no energy loss to the organism, this can be essential for a single celled organism as they are able to produce a lot less energy due to having fewer mitochondria in comparison to multicellular organisms. 
They also require few resources as single celled organisms are very small and so require only a small amount of raw resources for respiration because they have a small energy demand to meet.

How does paving and concreting areas affect watersheds?
