The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of which statement is not correct, we will evaluate each of the provided statements one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the First Statement **Statement:** "There is no uncatalyzed metabolic conversion in living systems." - **Analysis:** This statement is true. In living organisms, all metabolic reactions are catalyzed by enzymes, which are proteins that speed up chemical reactions. ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Statement **Statement:** "The living state is an equilibrium steady state to be able to perform work." - **Analysis:** This statement is false. Living organisms exist in a non-equilibrium steady state, which allows them to perform work. At equilibrium, no work can be done. ### Step 3: Analyze the Third Statement **Statement:** "The living state and metabolism are synonymous." - **Analysis:** This statement is true. Metabolism encompasses all biochemical processes that maintain the living state, providing the energy necessary for life. ### Step 4: Analyze the Fourth Statement **Statement:** "The catalyst which hastens the rate of given metabolic conversions are also proteins and these proteins with catalytic power are named enzymes." - **Analysis:** This statement is true. Enzymes are indeed proteins that act as catalysts in metabolic reactions, increasing the rate of these reactions. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the statements, the only incorrect statement is the second one: "The living state is an equilibrium steady state to be able to perform work." Therefore, the answer is option 2. ---
