1: Could be White Blood Cells and other immuno cells 2: Hormones 3: Hemoglobin located on red blood cells 4: Carbonic An hydrase (which fuses CO2 molecules into a bicarbonate for transfer in the blood) as well as carbamino hemoglobin located with red blood cells and some plasma transports small amounts of diffused CO2 5: Red blood cells hemoglobin and bicarbonate are 2 major blood pH buffers 6: Don't know what you mean cause glucose, amino acids and fatty acids/ other monomers float freely for the most part in the blood (plasma if you want the correct portion of blood) 7: If by tissue you mean clotting then platelets and clotting proteins like fibrin/fibrinogen 8: Carrier proteins carry those things. or they float freely anything thats a protein or cell is part of the solid component anything not manufactured by the body is plasma portion, e.g. glucose, amino acids and such been awhile since I did circulation so I hope thats pretty accurate
