Question

Assertion (A): Parenchyma cells store food.

Reason (R): Presence of chloroplast converts parenchyma into chlorenchyma.

पर्याय

• Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of the assertion.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Explanation:

Parenchyma stores food, so A is true. Chloroplast-containing parenchyma is called chlorenchyma and performs photosynthesis; this fact does not explain food storage, so R is true but is not the explanation of A.
