Assertion: If red blood cells were removed from the body and placed in pure water, pressure inside the cells increases.
Reason: The concentration of salt content in the cells increases.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
(e) If the Assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
Explanation:
A is true. Pressure inside the cell increases due to osmosis. Water enters the cell because concentration is higher inside the cell. This results in lowering of concentration of medium inside the cell. So, A is true but R is false.
