Which part of human blood carries hormones and nutrients?
A
plasma
B
platelets
C
red blood cells
D
white blood cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The main role of plasma is to take nutrients, hormones, and proteins to the parts of the body that need it. Cells also put their waste products into the plasma. The plasma then helps remove this waste from the body. Blood plasma also carries all parts of the blood through your circulatory system.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Hormones such as insulin, corticosteroids, and thyroxine are secreted into the blood by the endocrine system. Plasma concentrations of hormones must be carefully regulated for good health. Nitrogenous wastes (e.g., urea and creatinine) transported to the kidney for excretion increase markedly with renal failure.
