Reason : Cytotaxonomy is classifying organisms at cellular level.
25. Assertion: Living organisms are regarded as closed systems.
Reason: Energy of living organisms can not be lost or gained from external environment.
26. Assertion: Both internal as well as external growth is show by living organisms.
Reason: Living organisms undergo the process known as accretion.
27. Assertion: Metabolism refers to the sum of chemical reactions that occur within living
organisms.
Reason: Metabolic reactions occur simultaneously inside living organisms.
28. Assertion: One of the defining property of living organisms is consciousness.
Reason: Human being is the only organism that has self consciousness.
