Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Gamma globulin provides immunity against infection and disease. Albumin is the largest group, accounting for 60 to 80 of plasma proteins. Its important function is to provide thickness to the circulating blood volume, thus maintaining osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure draws water from surrounding tissue fluid into capillaries and, thus, maintains fluid volume and blood pressure. Fibrinogen and prothrombin are two other plasma proteins essential for blood clotting.
