Solution

The correct answer is 3. I is true but II is false.

Explanation:

I. Cellular organization of the body is the defining feature of life forms. This statement is true. All living organisms are composed of cells, which are the basic units of life.

II. Metabolic reactions cannot be demonstrated outside the body in cell-free systems. This statement is false. Metabolic reactions can indeed be demonstrated outside the body in cell-free systems. This is a common practice in biochemical and molecular biology research. For example, enzymes, which catalyze metabolic reactions, can be isolated and their activity can be studied in vitro (outside the body).
