Answer» Answer: It is CORRECT that the enzyme salivary amylase CONVERTS STARCH into simple sugar. So the assertion is true. But the reason states that HYDROCHLORIC acid is secreted by pancreas as well as stomach. But the reality is that only stomach produces hydrochloric acid. So the reason is FALSE. So, we can say that, option (c) is correct i.e., (c) Assertion is true but Reason is false. |
