Assertion (A): PPP is crucial for non-photosynthetic tissues, including differentiating tissues, germination of seeds, and tissues that are exposed to darkness.
Reason (R): When Fructose-6-p photosynthesis is not producing NADPH molecules, PPP produces NADPH2 molecules, which are used as reductants in biosynthetic processes.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Both A and R are false.
PPP is crucial for non-photosynthetic tissues, including differentiating tissues, germination of seeds, and tissues that are exposed to darkness because When Fructose-6-p photosynthesis donot produce NADPH molecules, PPP produces NADPH2 molecules, which are used as reductants in biosynthetic processes.
Option 1 is the correct answer.
