Question

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 process

Answer 1

The correct option is C

movement of molecules does not take place among cells

The correct option is C.

The explanation for the correct option:

Option C:

1. Molecules move across the cells by active and passive transportation. Osmosis and diffusion are the most essential transport phenomenon besides the carrier proteins and ion channels that aid for the same purpose.
2. They are the movement of molecules from one place to another and between the cells
3. They are essential because cells are in constant need of the supply of essential commodities.
4. Molecules move among cells through two mechanisms- active and passive transport.

The explanation for the incorrect option:

Option A:

1. Organisms grow with time is correct because through tissues cells grow and divide allowing organisms to grow.

Option B:

1. Organisms repair and maintain their structure is correct because if they do not do this, then they will no longer be able to survive.

Option D:

1. Energy is essential for life processes because all the life processes, such as transporting molecules across the membrane, building, and breaking molecules, are carried out using energy.

Final answer: Movement of molecules does not take place among cells is the incorrect statement.
