Question

6.Assertion: Each cell consists of a mass of living matter called protoplasm Reason: Protoplasm lacks plasma membrane and nucleus.​

Answer 1

Answer: Protoplasm, the cytoplasm and nucleus of a cell. The term was first defined in 1835 as the ground substance of living material and, hence, responsible for all living processes. Advocates of the protoplasm concept implied that cells were either fragments or containers of protoplasm. The weakness of the concept was its inability to account for the origin of formed structures within the cell, especially the nucleus. Today the term is used to mean simply the cytoplasm and nucleus. The word protoplasm is somewhat unpopular in modern biology, although the term protoplasmic streaming is commonly used to describe the movement of the cytoplasm.

Explanation:

Answer 2

ANSWER:-

Assertion is true but reason is false.

WHY:-

◇ Protoplasm is nothing but another name for animal cell.

And in plant cell it is the living matter except the cell wall.

So, each cell consists of a protiplasm.

◇ As I mentioned , Protoplasm is animal cell so it can't lack plasma membrane or nucleus(but lacks cell wall).

HENCE, ASSERTION IS TRUE BUT REASON IS FALSE.

HOPE IT HELPED!
