Assertion : The fungi are widespread in distribution and they even live on or inside other plants and animals.
Reason : Fungi are able to grow anywhere on land, water or on other organisms because they have a variety of pigments, including chlorophyll, carotenoids, fucooxanthin and phycoerythrin.

Assertion : C4 photosynthetic pathway is more efficient than the C3 pathway.
Reason : Photorespiration is suppressed in C4 plants.
If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion
If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
If Assertion is true but Reason is false
If both Assertion and Reason are false
Assertion : The atmospheric concentration of CO2 at which photosynthesis just compensates for respiration is referred to as CO2 compensation point.
Reason : The CO2 compensation point is reached when the amount of CO2 uptake is less than that generated through respiration because the level of CO, in the atmosphere is more than that required for achieving CO2 compensation point.
If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion
If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
If Assertion is true but Reason is false
If both Assertion and Reason are false
C.
If Assertion is true but Reason is false
A very low CO2 concentration photosynthesis is strongly limited by the low CO2 while respiratory rates are unaffected. As a result, there is a negative balance between CO2 fixed by photosynthesis and CO2 produced by respiration and a net efflux of CO2 from the plant. By increasing the atmospheric concentration of CO2 at which photosynthesis just compensate for respiration is referred to as CO2 compensation point.
Assertion : The duck-billed Platypus and the spiny ant-eater, both are egg-laying animals yet they are grouped under mammals.
Reason : Both of them have seven cervical vertebrae and 12 pairs of cranial nerves.
If both Assertion and Reason are true and the Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion
If both Assertion and Reason are true but the Reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
