NEETBotanyCell - The Unit of Life
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): The Golgi apparatus remains in close physical association with the endoplasmic reticulum. Reason (R): Materials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the ER fuse with the trans face of the Golgi apparatus and move towards the forming face. In the light of the above statements, choose the corr
Options
- A(A) is true but (R) is false
- BBoth (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- CBoth (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
- DBoth (A) and (R) are false
Correct answer
A. (A) is true but (R) is false
Step-by-step solution
The Golgi apparatus remains in close physical association with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to facilitate the transport of materials. Therefore, Assertion (A) is true. Reason (R) is false because materials to be packaged in the form of vesicles from the ER fuse with the cis face (forming face) of the Golgi apparatus, not the trans face. After fusing with the cis face, the materials are modified in the cisternae and move towards the maturing (trans) face, from where they are released. Thus, (A) is true but (R) is
