The combining form albumin/o means which of the following?
Correct Answer:
Protein

The body’s plasma contains albumin, a key protein that helps maintain blood volume and fluid balance. So this combining form specifically means protein, not carbohydrate, fat, or nucleic acid. You can remember it by comparing with glyc/o for carbohydrates, lip/o for fats, and nucle/o for nucleic acids.
