Match the blood component with their specific function

1) A simple protein that makes up approximately 58% of the plasma proteins. Many act as transport molecules - ALBUMIN 2) A simple protein that makes up approximately 38% of the plasma proteins. Many act as part of the immune system - GLOBULIN 3) A protein that forms blood clots - FIBRIN 4) Plasma without the clotting factors - SERUM 5) The liquid portion of blood connective tissue - PLASMA
