Question:

Match the types of plasma proteins listed under column I with their respective functions given under column II and select the correct option from the given codes:

  Column I Column II   
A. Globulins (i) Coagulation of blood.
B. Fibrinogens (ii) Osmotic balance.
C. Albumins (iii) Defense mechanisms.

 

Options:

A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iii).

A-(iii), B-(i), C-(ii).

A-(i), B-(iii), C-(ii).

A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(i).

Correct Answer:

A-(iii), B-(i), C-(ii).

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2)- A-(iii), B-(i), C-(ii).

  Column I Column II   
A. Globulins (iii) Defense mechanisms.
B. Fibrinogens (i) Coagulation of blood.
C. Albumins (ii) Osmotic balance.

Plasma is a straw coloured, viscous fluid constituting nearly 55 per cent of the blood. 90-92 per cent of plasma is water and proteins contribute 6-8 per cent of it. Fibrinogen, globulins and albumins are the major proteins. 

Fibrinogens are needed for clotting or coagulation of blood.

Globulins primarly are involved in defense mechanisms of the body and the albumins help in osmotic balance.
