Question

Which of the following is an incorrect statement?

Options

• energy is essential for life processes

• organisms grow with time

• movement of molecules does not take place among cells

• organisms must repair and maintain their body

Answer 1

movement of molecules does not take place among cells

Explanation:

This statement is incorrect because molecular movement is vital for life processes. Cells require a continuous supply of basic nutrients to stay alive and carry out metabolic activities. Essential molecules (such as water, oxygen, glucose, and signalling components) must move continuously between and among cells through processes such as active transport, passive transport, diffusion, and osmosis.
