Which of the following statement is false?
Options
- AChlorophyll is responsible for the synthesis of carbohydrate in plants
- BIn presence of oxygen, haemoglobin forms oxyhaemoglobin
- CAcetyl salicylic acid is known as aspirin
- DVitamin B ₁₂ contains Mg ²⁺ ion
Correct answer
D. Vitamin B ₁₂ contains Mg ²⁺ ion
Step-by-step solution
Chlorophyll is responsible for the synthesis of glucose (carbohydrate) in plants. In presence of oxygen, haemoglobin forms oxyhemoglobin. Acetyl salicylic acid is known as aspirin Vitamin B ₁₂ (Cyanocobalamin, C ₆₃ H ₈₈ O ₄ ~N ₁₄ PCo ) contains Co ²⁺ ion.
