The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statement from the provided options, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i): Biomolecules are in metabolic flux in the living state.** - In living organisms, biomolecules are constantly being synthesized and broken down. This continuous movement of biomolecules in and out of cellular processes is known as metabolic flux. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement (ii): Living process is a constant effort to prevent falling into equilibrium.** - Living organisms maintain a dynamic state that is far from equilibrium. If they were to reach equilibrium, it would imply a state of inactivity or death. Thus, living processes indeed involve constant efforts to prevent reaching equilibrium. This statement is also **correct**. 3. **Statement (iii): Metabolism provides a mechanism for the production of energy.** - Metabolism encompasses all chemical reactions in the body, including catabolic reactions (which release energy) and anabolic reactions (which consume energy). Therefore, metabolism is essential for energy production. This statement is **correct**. 4. **Statement (iv): Living state and metabolism is synonymous.** - While metabolism is a crucial aspect of living organisms, it is not synonymous with the living state itself. The living state encompasses more than just metabolic processes, including homeostasis, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement among the options provided is **(iv) Living state and metabolism is synonymous**. ---
