NEET Botany Cell Membrane Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The fluid nature of the cell membrane allows for cell growth and endocytosis.
Reason (R): The cell membrane is primarily composed of proteins that provide rigidity.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The assertion is true because the fluid nature of the membrane facilitates functions like cell growth and endocytosis. However, the reason is false as the cell membrane's fluidity is due to its lipid content, not proteins, which can provide structural support but not rigidity.
