No, blood is thicker than water. This means it's denser, and therefore weighs more per unit volume.
The thickness of blood comes from its composition. It's not just plain water; it contains red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.
- Red blood cells: These carry oxygen throughout the body.
- White blood cells: These fight infections.
- Platelets: These help stop bleeding.
- Plasma: This is a yellowish liquid that makes up about 55% of blood and contains proteins, electrolytes, and other substances.
The presence of these components makes blood denser than water.
