Q59 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 1) · Chemistry

Which of the following statements is false?

  • A
    Mg2+ ions form a complex with ATP.
  • B
    Ca2+ ions are important in blood clotting.
  • Correct answer
    C
    Ca2+ ions are not important in maintaining the regular beating of the heart.
  • D
    Mg2+ ions are important in the green parts of plants.

Solution

Monovalent sodium and potassium ions and divalent magnesium and calcium ions are found in large properties in biological fluids. There ions perform important biological functions such as maintenance of heart and nerve impulse. So, Ca2+ ions are important in maintaining the regular beating of the heart.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
