Given below are two statement: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:
Assertion A: ATP is used at two steps in glycolysis.
Reason R: First ATP is used in converting glucose into glucose-6 phosphate and second ATP is used in conversion of fructose-6- phosphate into fructose-1-6-diphosphate. In the light of the above statements, choose the Correct answer from the options given below:
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.
The correct answer is Option 1) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Assertion A states that ATP is used in two steps in glycolysis, which is true.
Reason R provides the correct explanation for Assertion A. It states that the first ATP is used in converting glucose into glucose-6-phosphate, and the second ATP is used in the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate into fructose-1,6-diphosphate. This is an accurate description of the steps in glycolysis where ATP is utilized.
Therefore, both Assertion A and Reason R are true, and Reason R correctly explains Assertion A.
