Select the INCORRECT statement from the following.
Options
- AAll biomolecules show turnover in cell.
- BThere is no uncatalysed reaction in living systems.
- CMetabolic pathways are either linear or circular
- DLiving state is an equilibrium steady state to perform work.
Correct answer
D. Living state is an equilibrium steady state to perform work.
Step-by-step solution
All biomolecules have a turn over which means that they are constantly being changed into some other biomolecules and also made from some other biomolecules. Every chemical reaction occurring in the body is a catalysed reaction. There is no uncatalysed metabolic conversion in living systems. Metabolites are converted into each other in a series of linked reactions called metabolic pathways. These metabolic pathways are similar to the automobile traffic in a city. These pathways are either linear or circular. These
