AAbout 7 percent
BAbout 20 percent
CAbout 38 percent
DAbout 54 percent
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. About 54 percent
1. The three major plasma protein groups are albumin, the globulins and fibrinogen.
2. Albumin is the most abundant, at approximately 54 percent of the total plasma protein content.
3. Globulins follow at approximately 38 percent.
4. Fibrinogen is the least abundant at about 7 percent, and that figure is the distractor for a candidate who recalls the ranking but not the values.
