Question 6 - Assertion Reasoning Questions (MCQ) - Chapter 6 Class 10 - Life Processes

Assertion (A): Energy is used during the process  of respiration.  

Reason (R): Respiration stores energy in the form  of ATP.  

Answer.:

The energy generation process can be given by:

We can see here that,

• A small amount of energy is required to convert ADP molecules to ATP  
• This ATP is stored in the body as energy.
• Stores ATP can be broken back down to ADP to release energy that we use.

Hence, 

• The assertion is True
• The reason is True

The reason is NOT the correct explanation of the assertion  

So, the correct option is (b).
