Question

Assertion (A) Photosynthesis is a physicochemical process.
Reason (R) During photosynthesis, conversion of light energy is a physical process, while synthesis of glucose is a chemical process.

• A. If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
• B. If both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
• C. If A is true, but R is false.
• D. If A is false, but R is true.

Answer 1
