The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break down the information step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Eubacteria and Archaebacteria have the same outer cell wall structure." - We need to determine if this statement is true or false. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason given is "They both lack peptidoglycan in their cell wall." - We need to evaluate if this reason is true or false. 3. **Analyzing Eubacteria**: - Eubacteria (or true bacteria) typically have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan. This is a key characteristic that distinguishes them from Archaebacteria. 4. **Analyzing Archaebacteria**: - Archaebacteria, on the other hand, do not have peptidoglycan in their cell walls. Instead, their cell walls are made of different substances, such as pseudopeptidoglycan or other polymers. 5. **Conclusion on the Assertion**: - Since Eubacteria have peptidoglycan in their cell walls and Archaebacteria do not, the assertion that they have the same outer cell wall structure is **false**. 6. **Conclusion on the Reason**: - The reason states that both lack peptidoglycan, which is **true for Archaebacteria** but **false for Eubacteria**. Therefore, the reason is **false**. 7. **Final Evaluation**: - Since the assertion is false and the reason is also false, the correct relationship between the assertion and reason is that the assertion is not supported by the reason given. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is false, and the reason is also false. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is true but the reason is false.
