Assertion : Chemosynthetic autotrophic bacteria oxidise various inorganic substances.
Reason : Energy released during oxidation is used in ATP production.

A

If both assertion and reason and true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason and true and reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Chemoautotrophic bacteria are able to manufacture their organic food from inorganic raw materials with the help of energy derived from exergonic chemical reactions involving oxidation of an inorganic substance pressent in the external medium. The chemical energy obtained from oxidation reaction is trapped in ATP molecules.
