Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
When a blood clot is being formed, plasminogen, an inactive protein present in many body tissues and fluids, is bound to fibrin and becomes a component of the clot. Plasminogen does not bind to platelets, activate plasmin, or active factor VII.

Answer to Question 2

A
