The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each statement provided and identify which one is incorrect. Let's go through the statements one by one: 1. **Chlorophyll is responsible for the synthesis of carbohydrates in plants.** - This statement is correct. Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in plants that plays a crucial role in photosynthesis, the process by which plants synthesize carbohydrates (like glucose) using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. 2. **The compound formed by the addition of oxygen to hemoglobin is called oxyhemoglobin.** - This statement is also correct. When oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, it forms a complex known as oxyhemoglobin, which is essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body. 3. **Acetylsalicylic acid is called aspirin.** - This statement is correct as well. Acetylsalicylic acid is the chemical name for aspirin, which is commonly used as an analgesic (pain reliever) and anti-inflammatory medication. 4. **The metal ion present in vitamin B12 is Mg2+.** - This statement is incorrect. The metal ion present in vitamin B12 (also known as cobalamin) is cobalt (Co), not magnesium (Mg). Therefore, this statement is false. ### Conclusion: The statement that is not correct is the fourth one: "The metal ion present in vitamin B12 is Mg2+." ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is: **The metal ion present in vitamin B12 is Mg2+.** ---
