The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements given in the question, we need to break down the assertion and the reason step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion (A)**: - The assertion states that "germinating seeds which store fats as reserve food material are very rich in glyoxysomes." - Glyoxysomes are specialized organelles found in plant cells, particularly in germinating seeds. They play a crucial role in the metabolism of stored fats. 2. **Understanding the Reason (R)**: - The reason states that "glyoxysomes are required for the conversion of fats into sugar to provide energy to the germinating seeds." - This is accurate because glyoxysomes contain enzymes that facilitate the conversion of fatty acids (from fats) into carbohydrates (sugars) through a process known as the glyoxylate cycle. 3. **Connecting Assertion and Reason**: - The assertion is true because germinating seeds that rely on fat as a source of energy will indeed have a high concentration of glyoxysomes to aid in this metabolic process. - The reason is also true as it correctly explains the function of glyoxysomes in converting fats into sugars, which are essential for energy during germination. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason provides a correct explanation for the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and the reason (R) is the correct explanation of the assertion (A). ---
