Question

Assertion: Archaebacteria can survive in acidic, salty, marshy areas.
Reason: They are chemosynthetic and obtain
energy by oxidising sulphur.

(A) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(B) Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(C) Assertion is true but reason is false.
(D) Both assertion and reason are false.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemosynthetic bacteria are without photosynthetic pigments. For the synthesis of their own organic food (carbohydrates), they obtain carbon from CO2 of the atmosphere, necessary energy from oxidation of inorganic or organic compound (Fe2+), molecular  hydrogen (H2) ammonia (NH3) and nitrites (NO2−)  etc.

So, If both the assertion and reason are false.
