The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "The study of biomolecules is called Molecular biology." - This statement is true. Molecular biology is indeed the field that focuses on the study of biomolecules, which include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), carbohydrates, and lipids that are essential for life. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Cell is a type of molecule." - This statement is false. A cell is not a molecule; rather, it is a complex structure made up of various biomolecules (such as proteins, nucleic acids, etc.). Cells are the basic units of life, while molecules are the smaller units that make up cells. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we can conclude that the correct answer to the question is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer The assertion is true, and the reason is false. ---
