The correct Answer is:
To determine which option has the highest percentage of protein, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Lymph**: - Lymph is a fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system. It is known to have a lower concentration of proteins compared to blood. - **Conclusion**: Lymph has less protein. 2. **Understanding Blood**: - Blood consists of two main components: plasma and blood cells (which include red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). - The protein content in blood is primarily found in the plasma, which contains about 6-10% proteins. - **Conclusion**: Blood has a moderate amount of protein. 3. **Understanding Plasma**: - Plasma is the liquid component of blood and is composed of about 90% water and around 6-10% proteins. - While plasma does contain proteins, it is not as concentrated as the total protein content found in blood when considering the blood cells. - **Conclusion**: Plasma has a lower percentage of protein compared to the total protein in blood. 4. **Understanding White Blood Cells (WBC)**: - WBCs are primarily involved in the immune response and do not have a high concentration of proteins compared to the total protein content in blood. - **Conclusion**: WBCs have less protein compared to blood. 5. **Final Comparison**: - Among lymph, blood, plasma, and WBCs, blood has the highest overall protein content due to the combined presence of proteins in both plasma and blood cells. - **Final Answer**: The percentage of protein is more in **(b) Blood**.
