The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question, we need to analyze both statements carefully. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "Biosynthetic phase of photosynthesis depends directly on presence of light." - The biosynthetic phase, also known as the dark reaction or Calvin cycle, utilizes the products of the light reactions (ATP and NADPH) to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates. - However, this phase does not require light directly; it can occur in the dark as long as the necessary substrates (ATP and NADPH) are available. Therefore, the assertion is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Both ATP and NADPH are not essential for assimilation of CO₂ to carbohydrates." - ATP and NADPH are indeed essential for the assimilation of carbon dioxide during the biosynthetic phase. They provide the energy and reducing power necessary for the conversion of CO₂ into glucose. - Thus, this statement is also **incorrect**. ### Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, the correct answer is that both statements are false. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
