NEET · Biology · STD 11 - 12. Respiration in plants

Given below are two statements : 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 :

  1. A \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true.
  2. B Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\).
  3. C Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(A\).
  4. D \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false.
