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 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 cis face. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate
Options
- AAssertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
- BBoth Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- CBoth Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
- DBoth Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are false.
Correct answer
A. Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
Step-by-step solution
Assertion (A) is true because the Golgi apparatus remains in close association with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to process and package materials synthesized by the ER. 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 and move towards the trans face (maturing face). The statement incorrectly reverses the direction of movement. Answer: Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
