The correct Answer is:
To correct the given statements, we will replace the underlined words with the appropriate terms. Here is the step-by-step solution: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: The viscous fluid present in the nucleus is called cytoplasm. - **Correction**: The viscous fluid present in the nucleus is called **nucleoplasm**. - **Corrected Statement**: The viscous fluid present in the nucleus is called nucleoplasm. 2. **Statement (ii)**: Vacuoles are rod-shaped structures which oxidize food to provide energy. - **Correction**: Vacuoles are not the structures that oxidize food; instead, it is the **mitochondria** that perform this function. - **Corrected Statement**: Mitochondria are rod-shaped structures which oxidize food to provide energy. 3. **Statement (iii)**: Mitochondria contain green pigment chlorophyll and take part in photosynthesis. - **Correction**: Mitochondria do not contain chlorophyll and do not take part in photosynthesis; this function is performed by **chloroplasts**. - **Corrected Statement**: Chloroplasts contain green pigment chlorophyll and take part in photosynthesis. 4. **Statement (iv)**: Lysosomes take part in the synthesis of proteins. - **Correction**: Lysosomes are not involved in protein synthesis; this function is performed by **ribosomes**. - **Corrected Statement**: Ribosomes take part in the synthesis of proteins. ### Final Corrected Statements: 1. The viscous fluid present in the nucleus is called **nucleoplasm**. 2. Mitochondria are rod-shaped structures which oxidize food to provide energy. 3. Chloroplasts contain green pigment chlorophyll and take part in photosynthesis. 4. Ribosomes take part in the synthesis of proteins.
