Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plasma is the liquid component of the blood that helps in the transportation of various hormones, nutrients, metabolic wastes etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cells need oxygen for metabolism, which creates carbon dioxide as a waste product. The carbon dioxide is absorbed from the cells by the blood plasma (some of it binds to hemoglobin too) and is transported back to the lungs in the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-3: -Blood Brings Waste Products to the Kidneys and Liver Blood flows into the kidneys through the renal arteries and out through the renal veins. The kidneys filter substances such as urea, uric acid, and creatinine out of the blood plasma and into the ureters. The liver also removes toxins from blood.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nitrogenous waste compounds such as urea are produced by the breakdown of various substances in the body. These are carried in the plasma to the kidneys to be excreted. Nutrients absorbed from the gut or from other organs of origin are carried in the plasma, such as glucose, fats, amino acids, minerals, and vitamins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transporting substances in plasma Plasma is made primarily of water. Many of the molecules the body needs to transport, such as urea, carbon dioxide and glucose, are soluble in water.
