The statement from the given options that is incorrect about plasma is b). It contains corpuscles.
Corpuscles in simple Biology means 'cells'. Blood plasma is the fluid portion of blood and does not contain the cells.
Other options:
- a. It is a faint yellow- The color of blood plasma is a pale or faint yellow. This is due to the presence of the substance bilirubin in the blood plasma. Hence, this statement is true.
- c. It cannot coagulate- For the process of clotting to occur, the presence of fibrinogens in the blood is required. Blood plasma does not contain any trace of factors like fibrinogen. Thus, in the absence of the clotting factors, blood plasma cannot undergo coagulation. Hence, this statement is true.
- d. It is the fluid part of blood- Blood plasma is composed of liquid. The blood is composed of plasma (liquid part) and the blood corpuscles (solid parts). The fluid of the blood, plasma is made up of a large quantity of water, a good quantity of salts, and efficient protein. Thus, this statement is correct.
Hence, the incorrect statement about blood plasma is b. It contains corpuscles.
