Assertion (A): End products of anaerobic respiration in plants are ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Reason (R): Incomplete breakdown of glucose occurs in the anaerobic respiration of plants.
- Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- A is true but R is false.
- A is false but R is true.
Answer
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Reason — A is true as in anaerobic respiration in plants (e.g., yeast), the end products are ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide.
R is true as in anaerobic respiration incomplete breakdown of glucose takes place.
Therefore, Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A is the correct option.
