The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we can break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "Enzymes are organic catalysts." - Enzymes are indeed organic molecules, primarily proteins, that speed up chemical reactions in biological systems. They lower the activation energy required for reactions to occur, which classifies them as catalysts. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states that "They catalyze the chemical reactions." - This is true as well. Enzymes facilitate biochemical reactions by increasing the rate at which they occur without being consumed in the process. ### Step 3: Evaluating the Assertion and Reason Together Now, we need to evaluate whether both the assertion and the reason are correct and if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - Both statements are correct: enzymes are organic catalysts, and they do catalyze chemical reactions. However, it is more accurate to specify that they catalyze biochemical reactions, as enzymes primarily function in biological contexts. ### Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason supports the assertion, we can conclude that the assertion is correct, and the reason is also correct. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ---
