Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is incorrect

Option B

Answer 2

Answer:

The incorrect statement out of these options is A i.e., all plants, animals, fungi, and microbes exhibit metabolism.

Explanation:

Plants, animals, and fungi exhibit metabolism. They exhibit various types of nutrition (autotrophic, saprotrophic, heterotrophic, etc).

• Microorganisms like unicellular yeast(fungi), and bacteria also show metabolism but viruses do not show metabolism.
• The virus generally imposes metabolic changes in target cells. Viruses are formed by complex structural molecules like lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acid, etc but they cannot do anything until they enter a living cell.
• Viruses are obligate parasites. They replicate in a living cell by altering the host cell machinery. So, the first statement is incorrect as viruses do not exhibit metabolism.
