Question

Assertion: Plants do not require an active pumping system like heart for transportation.

Reason: Plants have large proportion of dead cells and energy requirement is high.

• A. Assertion is true and reason is false.
• B. Assertion if false and reason is true.
• C. Assertion and Reason both are false.
• D. Assertion and reason both are true.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Assertion is true and reason is false.

Plants do not move, and plant body has a large proportion of dead cells in many tissues. As a result, plants have low energy needs, and can use relatively slow transport systems and thus do not require any active pumping organ or system like animals whose energy requirement is high and requires constant oxygen transport.
