Well, the third one is true, the last one is not, as catalysts are very important.  I am not sure about the others.

Yeah I know the third one is true, the question is worth two points so I'm assuming there are two possible answers. I'm not sure if scientists believe that living things contain a vital force for living things so I'm leaning towards C and B but I'm not sure.

athenawolf · Answer

I wouldn't judge based on number of points, unless you are absolutely certain that every question gets exactly one point when there is one answer.  However, if that is the style of the questions, I would think it is C and B, though C is the most correct.
