why r blood clotting factors present in inactive form in plasma

Solution

Hi,
The clotting factors present in the blood are present in their inactive state because if they are present in their active state, they may cause the clots to be formed and this may cause blockage in the flow of blood. When there is a injury, these factors are activated so that they may produce the clot, thus stopping the wastage of blood.
Hope this answers your question,
Cheers!!
