Plasma is adapted to its function as the liquid component of blood, providing a medium for the transport of nutrients, hormones, and waste products throughout the body. Its high water content enables it to maintain blood volume and pressure while facilitating thermoregulation. Additionally, plasma contains proteins such as albumin for osmotic balance and antibodies for immune defense, ensuring both nutrient delivery and protection against pathogens. This unique composition allows plasma to play a critical role in maintaining homeostasis.
They act as receptors.They are important in identifications.
The plasma membrane allows materials to be transported in and out for function. lol . honestly idk
Many plasma proteins function as enzymes, antibodies, transport proteins, and clotting factors. Enzymes help with biochemical reactions, antibodies help with immune responses, transport proteins carry molecules like hormones and lipids, and clotting factors aid in blood coagulation.
No, cholesterol does not directly function as a hormone receptor in the plasma membrane. Hormone receptors are typically proteins embedded in the membrane that bind specific hormones to initiate signaling pathways. Cholesterol primarily provides structural support and fluidity to the plasma membrane.

Tanga kba :D
we can say that blood clotting is a function of blood because plasma is involved in blood cloting and plasma is a consituent of blood.
Proteins
enables the blood to flow blood to flow well because plasma is a liguid component of blood.
