Explanation

Blood plasma is the fluid part of blood, making about half of the total blood volume. Plasma, itself, is around 90% water, with the 10% remainder including proteins, minerals, waste products, clotting factors, hormones, and immunoglobins. The enzyme carbonic anhydrase is absent in plasma.
