The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements provided are incorrect, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement (i) **Statement:** A motor neuron along with the muscle fibers connected to it constitutes a neuromuscular junction. **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. A motor neuron along with the muscle fibers it innervates forms a motor unit, not a neuromuscular junction. The neuromuscular junction specifically refers to the synapse or connection between the motor neuron and the sarcolemma (muscle cell membrane) of the muscle fiber. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement (ii) **Statement:** During muscle relaxation, Ca²⁺ ions are pumped back from the sarcoplasm to the cisternae. **Analysis:** This statement is correct. During muscle relaxation, calcium ions (Ca²⁺) are indeed pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum (cisternae), which helps the muscle fibers to relax after contraction. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement (iii) **Statement:** Aerobic muscles have a large number of mitochondria to utilize a large amount of oxygen for the generation of ATP. **Analysis:** This statement is also correct. Aerobic muscles, which rely on oxygen for energy production, possess a high number of mitochondria to facilitate the breakdown of glucose in the presence of oxygen to generate ATP. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement (iv) **Statement:** Red muscles have high myoglobin content. **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Red muscles, which are used for endurance activities, contain a high amount of myoglobin, a protein that binds oxygen, thus giving the muscles their red color and enabling them to store oxygen for aerobic respiration. ### Conclusion After analyzing all four statements: - Statement (i) is incorrect. - Statements (ii), (iii), and (iv) are correct. Thus, the only incorrect statement is (i). ### Final Answer The answer is: **Only statement (i) is incorrect.** ---
