Which of the following make up the plasma?
a. red blood cells, b. water, c. proteins, d. platelets, e. minerals, f. white blood cells, g. nutrients h. sugars
How does the shape of a red blood cell make it especially well suited for its job?
Most of the time you don't think about breathing. When might you think about breathing?
TRUE OR FALSE?
You breath to absorb carbon dioide from the air.
Your body adds carbon dioxide to the air you exhale.

1) b, c, e, g*, h
*glucose is technically a nutrient- Plasma does not carry 'food', ADP, or ATP
2) The biconcave structure and toroidal perimeter of the red blood cell helps it move though large blood vessels. Their shape keeps them apart (maximizes scatter), and keeps them moving (maximizes laminar flow)- this prevents clotting and increases cardiovascular efficiency.
3) You will think about breathing when an excess of Carbon Dioxide builds up in your bloodstream.
3a) Or as you read this- since you are now blinking and breathing manually.
4) Really? No. False. See above.
5) True- that's what 3) and 4) are about- your CV system (among other things) imports Oxygen and exports CO2

first of all, this isn't physics, it's biology.
c e g and h to your first question
a blood cell can bend, so if it needs to go through a narrow place, say a hair vessel, it's able to fold it's way through.
when I hear myself or others breathe excessively?
false ( you absorb oxygen)
true (water vapor too by the way)
