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 of the following is not a way carbon dioxide travels in the blood?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood from the tissue to the lungs in three ways:1 (i) dissolved in solution; (ii) buffered with water as carbonic acid; (iii) bound to proteins, particularly haemoglobin.

Approximately 75% of carbon dioxide is transport in the red blood cell and 25% in the plasma. The relatively small amount in plasma is attributable to a lack of carbonic anhydrase in plasma so association with water is slow; plasma plays little role in buffering and combination with plasma proteins is poor.

There is a difference between the percentage of the total carbon dioxide carried in each form and the percentage exhaled from them. For example, 5% of the total is in solution but 10% of exhaled carbon dioxide comes from this source; 10% is protein bound, particularly with haemoglobin, but this supplies 30% of the exhaled amount.
