The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion-reason question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that all enzymes participating in the Krebs cycle reactions occur in the matrix of mitochondria. - The Krebs cycle (also known as the citric acid cycle or TCA cycle) takes place in the mitochondria, specifically in the mitochondrial matrix. However, there is an exception: the enzyme succinate dehydrogenase is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, not in the matrix. 2. **Evaluating the Assertion**: Since not all enzymes are located in the matrix (due to the presence of succinate dehydrogenase in the membrane), the assertion is **false**. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason states that the Krebs cycle generates GTP in animal cells as well as plant cells. - In animal cells, the Krebs cycle does indeed generate GTP. However, in plant cells, the Krebs cycle primarily generates ATP instead of GTP. 4. **Evaluating the Reason**: Since the Krebs cycle generates GTP in animals but ATP in plants, the reason is also **false**. 5. **Conclusion**: Both the assertion and the reason are false. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
