  1. One tastes better than the other (sorry, I'm taking the p***)


  2. PLASMA                                                           URINE

    1)straw colored,                       1) pale, or yellow or colourless

    2)it carries blood cells,              2) prduced in kidney ,carries waste

         various inorganic salts of           product such as urea, uric acid

       Na, K, Ca, etc.& protein            creatinine &over 100 other substances.

    3)present & flow in blood vessels     present in traces.                

                                                     3)it is necessary to get rid of body,thus

                                                        passes through urethera

  3. In a normal, non-disease state:

    1. Protein level, plasma is about 75 g/L, urine is very low.

    2. Glucose likewise, low in urine, higher in plasma.

    3. Urea in urine is very high, being a waste product which eliminates ammonia (and hence excess Hydrogen ions) from our body. In Plasma it is much lower.

  4. Well blood is made of plasma (plasm?) + cells (red, white, platelets). Plasma is made of water, proteins, salt, and whatever is traveling at the time: sugar, hormones, dissolved gases...

    Urine is the product of filtering the plasm, retaining all proteins and the 'right' amount of salts and discarding urea. If you find proteins, sugar or blood in the urine, it's a telltale sign something wrong's going on.
