Detailed explanation-1: -Filtering wastes and electrolytes from blood plasma-the kidneys can eliminate wastes (such as nitrogenous wastes) and also electrolytes (such as excess sodium) from blood plasma. Therefore, the option that is not a function of the kidneys is c. blood sugar regulation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Albumin is a carrier protein found in blood plasma. Globulins are proteins that form the antibodies. And fibrinogen is a clotting factor found in blood. Therefore all the other proteins except actin are plasma proteins.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plasma proteins, such as albumin and globulin, that help maintain the colloidal osmotic pressure at about 25 mmHg. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, chloride, and calcium help maintain blood pH. Immunoglobulins help fight infection and various other small amounts of enzymes, hormones, and vitamins.
