Question

Assertion (A): Chloroplasts are present in all plant cells.

Reason (R): Chloroplasts are present in cells present in the parts that are exposed to sunlight.

• A. Both A and R are correct and R explains A
• B. Both A and R are correct and R does not explain A
• C. A is incorrect but R is correct
• D. Both A and R are incorrect

Answer 1

The correct option is C A is incorrect but R is correct

Chloroplasts are present in only those cells of the plant which are exposed to optimal intensity of sunlight. Thus their location is often restricted to stem and leaves. Conversely, they are not found in parts not exposed to sunlight, such as root hair cells.
