Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Globulins and fibrinogen are both proteins found in the plasma, which is the liquid component of blood. They are important for a variety of functions, including immune defense and blood clotting. They are not carbohydrates and are not responsible for oxygen transport, which is primarily the role of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Serum refers to the liquid portion of blood left after clotting has occurred, so globulins and fibrinogen would not be included in serum.
