Question

Assertion: Receptors are crucial to body’s communication process.

Reason: Receptors are proteins.

• A. Assertion and reason both are correct statement, but reason does not explain assertion
• B. Assertion is wrong statement reason is correct statement
• C. Assertion and reason both are correct, and reason explains the assertion
• D. Both assertion and reason are wrong statements
• E. Assertion is correct statement reason is wrong statement

Answer 1

The correct option is A Assertion and reason both are correct statement, but reason does not explain assertion

Assertion

⮚ Receptors interact with several types of chemical messengers & they are selective & specific in their interaction with the chemical messengers.

⮚ It is mainly due to their structural properties which allow the chemical messengers to bind to their binding sites and carry the message to the cell. They sometimes

carry coded genetic information for the cell, so receptors are crucial to body’s communication process.

So, assertion is correct.

Reason

⮚ Receptors are actually proteins & their binding sites have different shapes, structures, $\&$ amino acid compositions.

Hence, assertion and reason both are correct statements, but reason does not explain assertion.

So correct answer is option $\left(A\right).$
