Assertion: Breathing and cellular respiration are two different processes but are interdependent on each other.
Reason: Breathing provides oxygen to the cells for cellular respiration, while cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide which needs to be removed by breathing.
Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
Both assertion and reason are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Assertion is true, but the reason is false.
Assertion is false, but the reason is true.
Breathing and cellular respiration are two separate processes but are interdependent. Breathing provides oxygen to the cells, which is required for cellular respiration to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell. On the other hand, cellular respiration produces carbon dioxide, which needs to be removed by breathing to prevent an imbalance in the pH of the blood. Hence, both processes are necessary for each other to function properly.
Option 1 is the correct answer.
