Question:

Which of the following are correct?
A. Acetyl salicyclic is acid is known as aspirin
B. The compound formed in the addition of oxygen to haemoglobin is called oxy haemoglobin
C. Chlorophyll is responsible for the synthesis of carbohydrates in plants
D. The metal ion present in vitamin \(B_{12}\) is \(Mg^{2+}\)

Options:

A, B and C

B, C and D

A, B and D

B and C only

Correct Answer:

A, B and C

Explanation:

The correct answer is (1) A, B and C.

  • Statement A is correct. Acetylsalicylic acid is known as aspirin.
  • Statement B is correct. The compound formed in the addition of oxygen to hemoglobin is called oxyhemoglobin.
  • Statement C is correct. Chlorophyll is responsible for the synthesis of carbohydrates in plants.
  • Statement D is incorrect. The metal ion present in vitamin B12 is cobalt, not magnesium.

Therefore, the only options that are correct are A, B and C.

Here is a breakdown of the statements:

  • Statement A: Acetylsalicylic acid is known as aspirin.
    • This statement is correct. Acetylsalicylic acid is a medication used to relieve pain, fever, and inflammation. It is also known as aspirin.
  • Statement B: The compound formed in the addition of oxygen to hemoglobin is called oxyhemoglobin.
    • This statement is also correct. Oxyhemoglobin is the compound formed when oxygen binds to hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to the tissues.
  • Statement C: Chlorophyll is responsible for the synthesis of carbohydrates in plants.
    • This statement is also correct. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that absorbs light energy. This energy is used to synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.
  • Statement D: The metal ion present in vitamin \(B_{12}\) is \(Mg^{2+}\).
    • This statement is incorrect. The metal ion present in vitamin B12 is cobalt, not magnesium. Vitamin \(B_{12}|) is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for the production of red blood cells.
