PLASMA is the clear, yellowish fluid portion of blood, lymph, or intramuscular fluid in which cells are suspended. It differs from serum in that it contains fibrin and other soluble clotting elements and (SERUM) is the clear yellowish fluid obtained upon separating whole blood into its solid and liquid components after it has been allowed to clot. Also called blood serum.

Serum and plasma differs in one protein fibrin which is present in plasma and not in serum as it is used when we keep blood to clot during preparation of serum.All other protein content is same.

The clear liquid that can be separated from clotted blood. Serum differs from plasma, the liquid portion of normal unclotted blood containing the red and white cells and platelets. Its is the clot that makes the difference between serum and plasma.

Human plasma refers to the liquid content of the blood in human body which transports cells, proteins, hormones, and vitamins all over the body. It is a straw coloured liquid that includes clotting factors. Therefore on standing plasma can clumb

On the other hand, Plasma without the clotting components, primarily fibrinogen, is serum. Thus, serum does not clot after standing. Typically, all clotting factors in plasma must be eliminated through progressive centrifugation in order to obtain serum. Alternatively, blood can be drawn, and the supernatant can then be collected after it has clots. All other electrolytes, proteins not required for clotting, drugs, and toxins are all present in serum. Typically, human serum is used in diagnostic procedures.

Plasma because it contains clotting factor which is a globulin protein. Serum lacks clotting factor.

Plasma is the part of the blood that contains both the serum and clotting factors. Serum is the part of the blood that remains once the clotting factors like fibrin have been removed.

No. Serum usually reffers to syrupy-like or viscus substance, while Plasma is a state of matter that occurs when gas is heated to the point of nuclear fission.
