Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Mangroves are found in marshy conditions of tropical deltas and along ocean edges. For coping with conditions of high salt concentration and osmotic potential, many mangrove plants have high levels of organic solutes, such as praline and sorbitol. Dunaliella species (green and halophytic algae found in hyper saline lakes) can tolerate saline conditions by accumulating glycerol in the cells, which helps in osmoregulation. Some species of mangroves can excrete salts th rough the salt glands on the leaves. Some mangroves can exclude salts from the roots by pumping excess salts back into soil.
