Solution

Correct option: (a) Both assertion(A) and reason (R) are true, and reason (R) is the correct explanation for assertion.
  • The process by which materials move into the cell by engulfing of the food and other substances from the external environment is known as endocytosis.
  • This is not observed in plant cells because a tough and rigid cell wall is present in them.
  • Animal cells lack a cell wall outside the plasma membrane. Hence endocytosis takes place.
  • Therefore, Both assertion(A) and reason (R) are true and reason(R) is the correct explanation for assertion(A).
