The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about mitochondria and plant cells, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "mitochondria are called food factories of a plant cell." **Explanation**: - Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell, not food factories. Their primary function is to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the energy currency of the cell. - Therefore, this statement is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "a plant cell is called a closed system." **Explanation**: - A closed system is defined as one that cannot exchange matter or energy with its surroundings. - However, plant cells are actually open systems because they can exchange both matter (like nutrients and gases) and energy (through processes like photosynthesis and respiration) with their environment. - Thus, this statement is also incorrect. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are incorrect, we conclude that the correct answer is option D: both A and R are wrong. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are false. ---
