Question

ASSERTION: Pyruvate is a six-carbon molecule.

REASON: It is prepared in cytoplasm as a first step to cellular respiration.

a) Both the assertion and the reason are false.

b) Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason is the correct

explanation of the assertion.

c) The assertion and the reason are correct, but the reason is not the correct

explanation of the assertion.

d) Assertion is true, but the reason is false

Answer 1

Answer:

assertion is false but reason is true

Explanation:

pyruvate is prepared in the cytoplasm but it is a 3 carbon molecule

glucose is a 6 carbon  molecule

Answer 2

a) Both the "assertion and the reason" are false.

Explanation:

Both the "assertion and the reason are false". The pyruvate is the three molecule carbon atom. The "glucose" is the "six-carbon atom".

The first step of "cellular respiration is called glycolysis", which uses the glucose to create the adenosine triphosphate within the "cytoplasm of the cell". The "cellular respiration" is the process which converts the sugar molecules known as glucose into "Adenosine triphosphate".
