Question

Assertion : Growth involves the synthesis of protoplasmic as well as a protoplasmic materials.
Reason : During growth, catabolic activities are faster than anabolic activities.

• A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is a correct explanation of Assertion
• B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not a correct explanation of Assertion
• C. Assertion is true but Reason is false
• D. Both Assertion and Reason are false
• E. Assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Assertion is true but Reason is false

Correct assertion: Growth involves the synthesis of protoplasm as well as protoplastic materials contained inside it.

Correct reason: During growth, Anabolic(synthesis) activity is greater as compared to catabolic(breakdown) activity.

-If catabolic activity is faster as compared to anabolic activity then it will result in degrowth.

So, the correct answer is 'Option C- Assertion is true but reason is false'.
