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 Guttation - **Definition**: Guttation is the process by which plants lose water in the form of liquid droplets. This typically occurs at the edges or tips of leaves. - **Mechanism**: Guttation occurs through specialized structures called hydathodes, which are located at the leaf margins. ### Step 2: Evaluating the Assertion - **Assertion**: "Guttation takes place through hydathodes." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Guttation indeed occurs through hydathodes, which release water droplets when the plant has excess moisture. ### Step 3: Understanding Stomata - **Definition**: Stomata are small openings on the surfaces of leaves that facilitate gas exchange and transpiration. - **Structure**: Each stoma is surrounded by two kidney-shaped guard cells that control its opening and closing. ### Step 4: Evaluating the Reason - **Reason**: "Each stoma is made up of two kidney-shaped guard cells in dicots." - **Analysis**: This statement is also correct. Stomata in dicots are indeed composed of two guard cells that regulate the stomatal pore. ### Step 5: Relationship Between Assertion and Reason - **Comparison**: While both the assertion and reason are correct, they refer to different processes. Guttation (involving hydathodes) and transpiration (involving stomata) are distinct processes. - **Conclusion**: The reason does not explain the assertion, as they pertain to different mechanisms of water loss in plants. ### Final Conclusion - Both the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason does not provide a correct explanation for the assertion. Therefore, the correct option is that both statements are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation for the assertion.
