The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reasoning question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states: "All enzymes are made up of proteins and all proteins have three-dimensional structures." - **Part 1**: "All enzymes are made up of proteins." - This statement is **not entirely correct**. While most enzymes are proteins, there are exceptions, such as ribozymes, which are RNA molecules that also have catalytic activity. - **Part 2**: "All proteins have three-dimensional structures." - This statement is **correct**. Proteins indeed fold into specific three-dimensional shapes, which are crucial for their function. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states: "Secondary structures of proteins are sequences of amino acids." - This statement is **incorrect**. The **primary structure** of proteins refers to the sequence of amino acids. The secondary structure refers to local folded structures that form within a protein due to hydrogen bonding, such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets. ### Step 3: Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is **partially true** (the first part is false, but the second part is true). - The reason is **false**. Thus, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Assertion is true but the reason is false.** ---
