Document Summary
Plasma: this makes up 55% of the volume of blood. Plasma is made up of: that have occurred in australian organisms to assist in temperature regulation: plants and animals transport dissolved nutrients and gases in a fluid medium. Analyse information from secondary sources to describe the adaptions and responses. Animals move to avoid temperature extremes e. g. sharp-tailed sandpiper. Some animals remain in a sheltered spot, their metabolism slows and body temperature. Shelter: animal digs burrows or shelter in caves to escape high temperatures e. g. central netted. Animals are active at night to escape high temperature during the day e. g. hopping mice. Identify the forms in which each of the following is carried in a mammalian blood. Plasma proteins (including antibodies, clotting factors and lipid transporters. Products of digestion (sugars, amino acids, hormones etc. ) Their function is to transport respiratory gases (mainly oxygen in haemoglobin) Main function is to fight against disease. Platelets: their function is to make blood clot.
