| 1. | lacking globulins | 2. | lacking albumins |
| 3. | lacking clotting factors | 4. | lacking antibodies |
Which one of the following is correct?
1. Serum = Blood + Fibrinogen

The haemoglobin content per 100 ml of blood of a normal healthy human adult is:
1. 25-30 g
2. 17-20g
3. 12-16 g
4. 5-11
Globulins contained in human blood plasma are primarily involved in:
| 1. | defence mechanisms of body |
| 2. | osmotic balance of body fluids |
| 3. | oxygen transport in the blood |
| 4. | clotting of blood |
The correct statement in respect of protein haemoglobin is that it:
1. Maintains blood sugar level
2. Acts as an oxygen carrier in the blood
3. Forms antibodies and offers resistance to diseases
4. Functions as a catalyst for biological reactions
