Question:

In the following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.

Assertion : Receptors are crucial to body's communication process.

Reason : Receptors are proteins.

Options:

Assertion and Reason both are correct but reason does not explain assertion.

Assertion and Reason both are correct and reason explains the assertion.

Both assertion and reason are wrong statement.

Assertion is correct statement but reason is wrong statement.

Correct Answer:

Assertion and Reason both are correct but reason does not explain assertion.

Explanation:

Receptors are proteins which receive and transduce signals in bodily functions. Receptors cannot work alone to receive and transmit signals to the brain and take signals from the brain. Neurotransmitters are equally important in any communication process as it works in transmitting the signals from the brain to the receptors.
Receptors are of various types which conduct different bodily functions. Without receptors the communication process cannot occur as cells will not be able to receive the signal sent by the brain. Thus, the assertion is correct. The receptors are proteins, thus the reason is also correct.
But, the reason that receptors are proteins is not the correct explanation for receptors being crucial to the communication process.
