The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion (A) The assertion states that "Higher yield in case of bell pepper can be achieved by growing them in CO₂ enriched greenhouses." - **Explanation**: This statement is true because increasing the concentration of CO₂ in greenhouses enhances the photosynthesis process. Higher CO₂ levels can lead to increased rates of photosynthesis, which can result in higher yields of crops like bell peppers. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason (R) The reason states that "Due to higher intracellular CO₂ concentration in bundle sheath cells, RuBisCO mainly acts as a carboxylating enzyme." - **Explanation**: This statement is also true. In plants that utilize the C4 pathway (like maize and sugarcane), the bundle sheath cells have a higher concentration of CO₂, which allows RuBisCO to primarily function as a carboxylating enzyme. This is important because RuBisCO can also act as an oxygenase, leading to photorespiration, which is less efficient. Therefore, in C4 plants, the high CO₂ concentration minimizes this inefficiency. ### Step 3: Determine the Relationship between A and R Now we need to determine if the Reason (R) correctly explains the Assertion (A). - While both statements are true, the reason provided does not directly explain why growing bell peppers in CO₂ enriched greenhouses leads to higher yields. The assertion is more about the general effect of CO₂ on yield, while the reason discusses a specific mechanism in C4 plants. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Assertion (A) is true. - Reason (R) is true, but it does not serve as a correct explanation for Assertion (A). Thus, the correct answer is: **Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.** ### Final Answer **Option 4: Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.** ---
