Answer:
The assertion "Saliva contains pepsin enzyme" and the reason "Pepsin digests lipids" are incorrect.
Explanation:
Assertion: Saliva contains the pepsin enzyme.
Saliva contains an enzyme called salivary amylase secreted by the salivary gland. The amylase breaks down the starch from the food into sugar. The digestion of starch starts in the mouth itself.
Reason: Pepsin digests lipids.
Pepsin is an enzyme found in the stomach. It breaks down protein into small peptides and amino acids.
∴ We can see that both statements are incorrect and are not linked in any way.
