Answer 2

Answer:

C) Assertion is True but Reason is False

Explanation:

Assertion :

• Liver is the largest organ present in the human body.
• It is called a 'gland' as it produces Bile which helps in Emulsifying Fats and breaking them down into smaller fat globules in the Small Intestine.
• Furthermore, the manufactured bile is stored in the Gall Bladder and is released when required.
• So, the Assertion is true.

Reason :

• There are 3 Salivary Glands present in human beings, and they secrete an enzyme called 'Salivary Amylase'.
• This salivary amylase helps convert the Starch present in the food to Sucrose/Maltose.
• Therefore, as salivary amylase is secreted by the salivary glands and not the Liver, the Reason is false.
