Answer 1

Assertion

In eukaryotic cells, an extensive compartmentalisation of cytoplasm is seen.

Elaboration:

The separation of cytoplasm into distinct compartements or parts is referred to as compartmentalisation. In eukaryotic cells, the various organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, vacuoles etc. are membrane-bound, resulting in the formation of cellular compartments.

Reason

Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.

Elaboration:

Membrane-bound organelles are enveloped by membrane(s), which keeps their internal environments distinct from the rest of the cell's cytoplasm.

These organelles are a characteristic feature of eukaryotic cells. Membrane-bound organelles include mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, vacuoles, lysosomes, chloroplasts.

Final answer: a. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
