The correct Answer is:
To determine which two statements contain mistakes, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i)**: "A water breather expends much more energy in ventilating its respiratory surface than an air-breathing one." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Water is denser than air, and organisms that breathe underwater (like fish) have to expend more energy to move water over their gills compared to air-breathing organisms. Thus, there is no mistake in this statement. 2. **Statement (ii)**: "Lungs become empty after forceful expiration." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The lungs do not become completely empty after a forceful expiration. There is always some residual volume of air left in the lungs to prevent lung collapse. Therefore, this statement contains a mistake. 3. **Statement (iii)**: "Exchange of gases in the lungs are interrupted during expiration." - **Analysis**: This statement is also incorrect. Gas exchange does not stop during expiration; rather, it continues until the pressure gradients equalize. Therefore, this statement also contains a mistake. 4. **Statement (iv)**: "Respiratory movements are controlled by CO2 concentration of arterial blood." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. The regulation of breathing is primarily influenced by the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood. Therefore, there is no mistake in this statement. ### Conclusion: The two statements that contain mistakes are: - Statement (ii): "Lungs become empty after forceful expiration." - Statement (iii): "Exchange of gases in the lungs are interrupted during expiration." ### Final Answer: The statements with mistakes are (ii) and (iii). ---
