Solution
The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
The living systems maintain the concentration of bio-molecules because they are in metabolic flux, always remaining in non-equilibrium steady state where equilibrium is seldom achieved. No work can be carried out in equilibrium state. Therefore, living systems are regularly receiving an input of energy to prevent reaching an equilibrium and remain always in non-equilibrium steady state. Energy is obtained from metabolism. Metabolism and living state are therefore, complementary and synonymous.So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect'.
