The answer is the third one (or C): colloid osmotic pressure.

Explanation for each option:

  • Hematocrit: This refers to the proportion of blood volume that is occupied by red blood cells. It does not relate to the osmotic pressure of the blood.
  • Blood hydrostatic pressure: This is the pressure exerted by the blood against the walls of blood vessels. It is not specifically related to the contribution of proteins to osmotic pressure.
  • Colloid osmotic pressure: This is the pressure exerted by plasma proteins (such as albumin) that contributes to the osmotic pressure of the blood. It helps to maintain the balance of fluid between blood vessels and surrounding tissues.
  • Viscosity: This refers to the thickness or stickiness of the blood, which affects its flow. It is not directly related to the osmotic pressure of the blood.

Summary: The term that refers to the contribution of protein to the osmotic pressure of the blood is colloid osmotic pressure.

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. In each case, state the possible values of the random variable. (a) The number of people in a restaurant that has a capacity of 100. (b) The square footage in square feet of a house. (a) Is the number of people in a restaurant that has a capacity of 100 discrete or continuous? A. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are x=0,1,2, ..., 100 B. The random variable is continuous. The possible values are 0 ≤ x ≤ 100. C. The random variable is discrete. The possible values are 0 ≤ x ≤ 100. D.
