Read the following Assertion and Reason and choose the correct option. Assertion: During aerobic respiration, two molecules of NADH are produced from the metabolism of two molecules of pyruvic acid. Reason: The acetyl CoA then enters a cyclic pathway, Tricarboxylic acid cycle, more commonly called as Kreb's cycle after the scientist Hans Krebs who first elucidated it.

Options

  1. ABoth Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
  2. BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
  3. CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
  4. DBoth Assertion and Reason are false

Correct answer

B. Both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
