The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given assertion and reason, we can break it down into a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states: "For greenhouse effect, presence of green plants is not essential." - This means that the greenhouse effect can occur independently of green plants. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states: "Chlorophyll of the green plants causes greenhouse effect." - This implies that chlorophyll, which is found in green plants, is responsible for the greenhouse effect. ### Step 3: Analyze the Greenhouse Effect - The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. It occurs when the Sun's energy reaches the Earth, and some of that energy is absorbed while some is reflected back into space. - Greenhouse gases (like CO2, methane, and nitrous oxide) trap heat in the atmosphere, contributing to the greenhouse effect. ### Step 4: Evaluate the Assertion - The assertion is true. The presence of green plants is not necessary for the greenhouse effect to occur because greenhouse gases alone can maintain the effect. ### Step 5: Evaluate the Reason - The reason is false. Chlorophyll does not cause the greenhouse effect; rather, it is involved in photosynthesis and gives plants their green color. Chlorophyll does not contribute to the greenhouse effect but can help reduce it by absorbing CO2 during photosynthesis. ### Step 6: Conclusion - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct answer is that the assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect. ### Final Answer - The correct option is: Assertion is true, Reason is false. ---
