(a)
Interpretation:
Whether the plasma, intracellular fluid or interstitial fluid contains the highest concentration of protein is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A human body contains plenty of fluids. These fluids help in the movement of substances within the cells and outside the cells. These are categorized as intracellular fluids and extracellular fluids.
Answer to Problem 25.4E
The intracellular fluid contains protein in the highest concentration.
Explanation of Solution
Proteins are important for many energy-yielding processes in the body. These are also present as enzymes in the body, which catalyze the biochemical reactions. Most of the reactions are done inside the cell. This means that the intracellular fluid is rich in enzymes. Therefore, the intracellular fluid contains protein in the highest concentration.
The intracellular fluid contains protein in the highest concentration.
