NEETBotanyRespiration in Plants
Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: In aerobic respiration, the pyruvate is formed by the glycolytic catabolism of proteins in the cytosol. Reason: The reaction catalysed by pyruvic dehydrogenase require no coenzymes.
Options
- ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
- DBoth Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer
D. Both Assertion and Reason are false
Step-by-step solution
In aerobic respiration, the pyruvate is formed by the glycolytic catabolism of carbohydrates in the cytosol. The reaction catalysed by pyruvic dehydrogenase require the participation of several coenzymes, including NAD+ and Coenzyme A.
