B

If both assertion and reason are true but 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

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze the assertion and reason step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "Lymph is the filtered blood from capillaries, which is rich in oxygen, but devoid of RBC." - **Explanation**: Lymph is indeed derived from blood plasma that leaks out of capillaries. It contains nutrients, waste products, and oxygen, but it does not contain red blood cells (RBCs) because RBCs are too large to pass through the capillary walls. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that "RBC can filter out due to small diameters of fenestra of capillary, but O2 cannot do so." - **Explanation**: This statement is incorrect. While it is true that the fenestra (small pores) in capillaries allow certain substances to pass through, RBCs are too large to pass through these openings. Oxygen, being a small molecule, can easily diffuse through the capillary walls into the lymph. ### Step 3: Evaluating the Relationship Between Assertion and Reason Now we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - The assertion is true: Lymph is filtered blood that is rich in oxygen and devoid of RBCs. - The reason is false: RBCs do not filter out due to the small diameters of fenestra; rather, they are simply too large to pass through. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is true. - The reason is false. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is true but the reason is false. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Assertion is true, but Reason is false.** ---

Assertion : Lymph is the filtered blood from capillaries, which is rich in oxygen, but devoid of RBC. Reason : RBC can filter out due to small diamerters of fenestra of capillary , but O_(2) can not do so.

Assertion (A) Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as S_(8) but oxygen exists as O_(2) . Reason (R ) Oxygen forms ppi-ppi multiple bond due to small size and small bond length but ppi-ppi bonding is not possoble is not possible in sulphur.

Assertion : The water rises higher in a capillary tube of small diameter than in the capillary tube of large diameter. Reason : Height through which liquid rises in a capillary tube is inversely proportional to the diameter of the capillary tube.

Assertion : Portal system consists of veins which start from capillaries and end into capillaries. Reason : The hepatic portal vein carries blood from intestine to liver before it is delivered ot the systemic circulation.

Assertion : Both rhombic and monoclinic sulphur exist as S_(8) but oxygen exists as O_(2) . Reason : Oxygen forms p pi- p pi multiple bond due to small size and small length but p pi - p pi bonding is not possible in sulphur.

Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs comes to the thin-walled upper chamber of the heart on the left. The left upper chamber (A) then relaxes. It then contracts and the blood is allowed to enter the next chamber (B), as it expands. When the muscular left lower chamber of heart contracts the blood is pumped out to the body via aorta. Deoxygenated blood reaches from the body to the upper chamber on the right side of heart (C) and it expands. As this part contracts, the corresponding lower chamber (D) dilates. This transfers the blood to right ventricle, which in turn pumps it to the lungs for oxygenated. Assertion (A): Human heart does not allow mixing of oxygen rich blood with carbon dioxide rich blood. Reason (R): Human heart has different chambers.

Assertion : At the tissue level, 70 percent of CO_(2) formed from contabolism is trapped as bicarbonate in the RBCs. Reason : At tissue level, carbonic anhydrase in RBCs facilites the formation of CO_(2) and H_(2)O from bicarbonate.
