Which of the following statements is not correct?
Ovalbumin is a simple food reserve in egg-white.
Blood proteins thrombin and fibrinogen are involved in blood clotting.
Denaturation makes the proteins more active.
Insulin maintains sugar level in the blood of a human body.
To solve this problem, we need to evaluate each statement to determine which one is incorrect.Let's analyze each option:• Option 1: Ovalbumin is a simple food reserve in egg-white. - Ovalbumin is indeed a protein found in egg white and serves as a source of amino acids for the developing embryo. - This statement is correct.• Option 2: Blood proteins thrombin and fibrinogen are involved in blood clotting. - Thrombin and fibrinogen are key proteins in the blood clotting process. Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin, which forms a clot. - This statement is correct.• Option 3: Denaturation makes the proteins more active. - Denaturation involves the unfolding of a protein's structure, leading to loss of its biological activity. - This statement is incorrect because denaturation typically makes proteins less active or inactive.• Option 4: Insulin maintains sugar level in the blood of a human body. - Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells. - This statement is correct.Therefore, the statement that is not correct is Option 3: Denaturation makes the proteins more active.
