Expert Solution

The plasma protein that found in the highest concentration in a normal individual is 9% of the plasma, 90 g/L.

Blood proteins also termed plasma proteins or serum proteins, are proteins present in blood plasma. It is divided into a few parts. Serum albumin accounts for 55% of blood proteins and is a major contributor to maintaining the osmotic pressure of plasma to assist in the transport of lipids and steroid hormones. Globulins make up 38% of blood proteins and transport ions, hormones, and lipids assisting in immune function. Fibrinogen comprises 7% of blood proteins; conversion of fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin is essential for blood clotting. The remainder of the plasma proteins (1%) are regulatory proteins, such as enzymes, proenzymes, and hormones. All blood proteins are synthesized in liver except for the gamma globulins.

A recent study on the effect of raw garlic on plasma lipid concentration in adults with moderate hypercholesterolemia was conducted using 49 randomly selected subjects treated with raw garlic and 48 randomly selected subjects with a placebo. The 49 subjects treated with raw garlic had LDL cholesterol measurements with a mean of 151 and a standard deviation of 15, while 48 subjects given placebos had LDL cholesterol measurements with a mean of 149 and a standard deviation of 14.

The density of the plasma membrane of a cell was found to be 1.07 g/mL. If the density of the lipid component is 0.91 g/mL and the density of the protein component is 1.36 g/mL, what is the percent composition (to the nearest ones) of the lipid component of the membrane, assuming the plasma membrane consists only of the lipid and protein components?
