Pick the incorrect statement.
a) while all animals must deal with the same fundamental problems, different animals may have different solutions.
b) all cells need energy to survive, and anaerobic metabolism is more efficient than aerobic metabolism because it is faster.
c) a group of cells of the same type that perform a specific function is referred to as a tissue.
d) a fundamental challenge for all multicellular organisms is maintaining the asymmetric distribution of ions between different compartments..

b) All cells need energy to survive, and anaerobic metabolism is more efficient than aerobic metabolism because it is faster.

Explanation:

Energy is one of the basic requirements of all the cells to perform vital functions. However, the process of aerobic respiration is more efficient than anaerobic respiration.

Anaerobic respiration is incomplete oxidation of glucose in the absence of oxygen and produces only a few (2) ATPs while aerobic respiration is complete oxidation of glucose in the presence of oxygen.

The step by step breakdown of glucose during aerobic respiration results in the production of a large number of ATPs (as many as 36).
