Question

Which of the following plasma proteins is necessary for blood clotting to occur?
A) albumin
B) globulin
C) fibrinogen
D) Both A and C are necessary for blood clotting to occur.

Accepted Answer

Fibrinogen is necessary for blood clotting to occur, as it is converted to fibrin, a protein that forms a mesh-like structure to trap platelets and red blood cells in order to form a clot. Albumin and globulin do not play a role in blood clotting.
