The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the composition of cell contents, we will analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "Minerals form 25 to 30% of the cell contents." - **Evaluation**: - The typical composition of a living cell includes a very small percentage of minerals. In reality, minerals constitute about 1% of the cell contents, which is significantly lower than the 25-30% stated in the assertion. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Lipids form 40 to 50% of the cell contents." - **Evaluation**: - Similar to the assertion, this statement is also incorrect. Lipids typically account for only about 2% of the cell contents, which is far less than the 40-50% mentioned in the reason. ### Step 3: Conclusion Both the assertion and the reason are incorrect based on the standard composition of a living cell. - **Final Answer**: Therefore, the correct option is that both the assertion and reason are wrong.
