2.58 understand the role of plasma in the transport of carbon dioxide, digested food, urea, hormones and heat energy

Water- which is the main component of plasma- is a solvent and a liquid; so plasma carries these different things around the body disolved in water:
Carbon- Hydrogen carbonate
Digested food- soluble sugars and amino acids
Urea
Hormones.

Water also carries heat, which is important in the regulation of body temperature.

    This blog is so un-descriptive, its hard to see why people like it so much. I appreciate what you're trying to do here, but its just not good enough.
