Which of the following is an incorrect statement?
(a) Organisms grow with time
(b) Organisms must repair and maintain their structure
(c) Movement of molecules does not take place among cells
(d) Energy is essential for life processes
Ans.(c)
Organisms grow with time - true
Organisms must repair and maintain their structure – If they do not do so, they will no longer be alive. Hence the statement is true.
Molecules move from one cell to another, for example, oxygen and food moves from cell to cell. Hence the statement is false.
Energy is needed to carry out life processes, such as breaking down and building up molecules, transporting many molecules
across cell membranes etc. Hence the statement is true.
Hence option (c) is correct.
