Question

Given below are two statements.
Statement I- Most of the blood proteins are acidic proteins.
Statement II - Derived proteins are not found in nature.
In the light of above statements, Select the correct option given below.

Options

• Both statement I and statement II are correct.

• Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.

• Statement I is correct but statement II is incorrect.

• Statement I is incorrect but statement II is correct.

Answer 1

Both statement I and statement II are correct.

Explanation:

• Statement I: Most blood proteins are acidic because albumin, the major plasma protein, is acidic and predominates in plasma.
• Statement II: Derived proteins are found in nature; they result from partial or complete modification/hydrolysis of native proteins (e.g., proteoses, peptones), so saying they are not found in nature is wrong.
