Question 56

Easy

The table below shows the concentration of different components in the blood plasma and in the filtrate within the Bowman's capsule of a healthy adult.

Table 1

Component	Concentration in the blood plasma	Concentration in the filtrate
Glucose	0.9 mg per cm³	0.9 mg per cm³
Albumin (protein)	40.0 g per dm³	0.0 g per dm³
Red blood cells	5.2 × 10⁶ per cm³	0.0 per cm³
Platelets	2.5 × 10⁵ per cm³	0.0 per cm³

Calculate the difference between the number of red blood cells and the number of platelets in 1 cm³ of blood plasma.

Give your answer in standard form.
