Assertion: Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles.Reason: Pro...
Eukaryotic cells which have membrane bound distinct structures called organelles like nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi complex, lysosomes, mitochondria, microbodies and vacuoles. These are found in all protists, plants, animals and fungi. Prokaryotic cells lack such membrane bound organelles. Prokaryotic cells occur in bacteria, archaea, blue-green algae, mycoplasma and PPLO. Genetic material in these cells lies naked in the cytoplasm.

Assertion: Eukaryotic cells have membrane bound organelles.Reason: Pro...
Explanation:
Assertion: Eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles.
- Eukaryotic cells, such as those found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists, have membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and more.
- These membrane-bound organelles compartmentalize the cell, allowing different cellular processes to occur in specialized environments.
Reason: Prokaryotic cells lack membrane-bound organelles.
- Prokaryotic cells, like bacteria and archaea, do not have membrane-bound organelles.
- Instead, they have a simpler internal structure with a nucleoid region where the genetic material is located, ribosomes for protein synthesis, and a cell wall for structural support.
Explanation of the relationship between Assertion and Reason:
- Both the Assertion and Reason are true statements.
- Eukaryotic cells do have membrane-bound organelles, while prokaryotic cells lack these structures.
- However, the Reason does not provide a direct explanation for why eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles. It simply states a difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B': If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
