Assertion and Reason Based Questions
DIRECTION : In the following questions, a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.
(d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true.
Q21: Assertion : The endoplasmic reticulum which lacks ribosomes is called smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER).
Reason : SER is mainly involved in protein synthesis.
Q22: Assertion: Mitochondria and chloroplasts are semiautonomous organelles.
Reason : They are formed by division of pre-existing organelles and contain DNA but lack protein synthesising machinery.
Q23: Assertion : Mitochondria are called ‘powerhouses’ of the cell.
Reason : Mitochondria produce cellular energy in the form of ATP.
Q24: Assertion : Plant cells have very large vacuoles.
Reason : In plant cells, vacuoles are full of cell sap.
Q25: Assertion : Plasma membrane is fully permeable.
Reason : Plasma membrane allows some molecules to pass through it more easily than
others.
