Question
Globulins contained in human blood plasma are primarily involved in
-
defence mechanisms of the body
-
the osmotic balance of body fluids
-
oxygen transport in the blood
-
clotting of blood
Solution
A.
defence mechanisms of the body
Globulins are soluble in the salt of strong acid and bases. These are coagulated by heat and insoluble in pure water and moderately concentrated salt solutions. Globulins contained in human blood plasma are primarily involved in defence mechanisms of the body. Some example is- Rabies immune globulin (RhO (D)immune globulin, specific immune globulin, tetanus immune globulin etc.
