Assertion: Proteins on hydrolysis produce amino acids.
Reason : Amino acids contain `NH_(2)` and -COOH groups

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Proteins on hydrolysis gives `alpha`–amino acid because amino acids are the building block of proteins. It is also fact that amino acids contain both –`NH_2` and –COOH group.
Here assertion and reason both are correct but reason is not a correct explanation of assertion.
