Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Albumin is the most abundant protein in plasma, making up about 60% of the total protein. Platelets are not a protein but a cell fragment important in blood clotting. Fibrinogen is a protein that helps with blood clotting, but it is not the most abundant. Globulins are a group of proteins that include antibodies and transport proteins, but they are not as abundant as albumin.
