Ans.
Platelets are a type of blood cells, responsible for blood clotting. These cells prevent excessive blood loss from wound as they form plug or clot at the site of injury to repair the damage. Thus, the option). platelets is correctly matched with 'clotting blood.'
White blood cells or WBCs are components of immune system that protect the body from harmful foreign molecules, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses and harmful body cells, such as tumor cells. Thus, the option). white blood cells is correctly matched with 'fighting bacteria.'
Red blood cells or RBCs are blood cells that transport oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients to the different part of the body. These cells are made up of hemoglobin and protein. Thus, the option). red blood cells is correctly matched with 'clotting blood.'
Plasma is the non-cellular, colorless, fluid portion of blood, composed of proteins, vitamins, antibodies, amino acids, and other micromolecules. It is responsible for viscous nature of blood. Thus, the option). plasma is correctly matched with 'providing viscosity to the blood.'

Viruses lack the properties of living things:
1. They have no energy metabolism
2. They do not grow
3. They do not respond to stimuli
4. They do not reproduce independently- they have to replicate by invading living cells.
Answer: transporting substances in a cell
Why: In eukaryotic cells, endomembrane system refers to the set of membranes present inside the cytoplasm which form single functional and developmental unit. The membranes are either connected directly or indirectly and exchange material with the help of vesicle transport. The main function of this system is to modify, pack and transport the proteins and lipids in and out of the cell. The main organelles which form the endomembrane system are- nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vesicles.
