Assertion: The inner membrane of mitochondria contains systems involving electron transport.
Reason: The mitochondrial matrix contains enzymes of Kreb's cycle.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
(c) If Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
Correct option: (b)
Explanation:
Electron transport system is a series of coenzymes and cytochromes that takes part in the passage of electrons from a chemical to its ultimate receptor. The mitochondrial matrix contains all the soluble enzymes of the citric acid or Kreb's cycle and those involved in the oxidation of fatty acids.
