Question

Q.1. Assertion (A): Energy is used during the process
of respiration.
Reason (R): Respiration stores energy in the form
of ATP.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Assertion is correct but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion .

Explanation:

In this, Reason should be the process of respiration

Answer 2

Answer:

The assertion statement is false, and the reason stated is true.

Explanation:

• Respiration is the biological process where high-energy organic food is oxidized or broken down into simple low-energy molecules (CO₂ + H₂O), releasing the energy trapped in the chemical bonds.

• The energy released during the oxidation of energy-rich molecules is made available for cellular activities through an intermediate compound called- ATP. Thus respiration is an exergonic process.

• The energy is not used in the process of respiration, hence assertion is false.

• Respiration involves the breaking up of C-C bonds by enzymes and thus results in the release of energy in the form of ATP as biologically useful energy.
  Thus reason is true.

Hence Assertion (A) is false, and reason (R) is true.
