What does g% mean? Please be specific. What is the difference between whole blood and plasma? Please be specific. Would your hemoglobin content be changed if it was expressed as g% in PCV (packed cell volume)? How? Does it make sense to express hemoglobin content as g% in plasma volume? Why or why not? Calculations: Calculate the oxygen carrying capacity of the following hemoglobin concentrations: 12 g% 14 g% 16 g%
