Identify the INCORRECT statement about blood plasma.
- AIt is a straw colored, slightly alkaline and viscous fluid.
- BIt contains 90% of water.
- CIt contains proteins like albumen, globulin, prothrombin etc.
- Correct answerDIt also contains regulators like stroma and nucleus.
Solution
Blood plasma is a straw-coloured, viscous fluid constituting nearly 55 per cent of the blood. It is slightly alkaline in nature.
About 90-92 per cent of plasma is water and proteins contribute 6-8 per cent of it.
Fibrinogen, globulins, albumins, and prothrombin are the major proteins found in blood plasma.
Plasma is an extracellular fluid and does not contain cellular components like a nucleus or structural frameworks like stroma. Therefore, the statement that it contains regulators like stroma and nucleus is incorrect.
Answer: It also contains regulators like stroma and nucleus.
About 90-92 per cent of plasma is water and proteins contribute 6-8 per cent of it.
Fibrinogen, globulins, albumins, and prothrombin are the major proteins found in blood plasma.
Plasma is an extracellular fluid and does not contain cellular components like a nucleus or structural frameworks like stroma. Therefore, the statement that it contains regulators like stroma and nucleus is incorrect.
Answer: It also contains regulators like stroma and nucleus.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
