Assertion: Photorespiration is a wasteful process.
Reason: In photorespiratory pathway, there is not synthesis of sugars or ATP.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason 1s the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the 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:
A
Photorespiration is a wasteful process as in the photorespiratory pathway as there is no synthesis of ATP or NADPH.
