Question

Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option in question

Assertion: Cell wall is not found in animal cell.

Reason: Animal cells are covered by cell membrane.

Answer 1

Elaboration:

Cell wall is the outermost layer covering the cells of organisms like plants, fungi and prokaryotes. Cell wall is absent in animals.

The outermost membrane covering the animal cell is called the cell membrane or plasma membrane. Thus assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation for assertion.

Final answer

(B) If both assertion and reasons are true and the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
