The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that "Pancreatic amylase digests protein to amino acid." - **Evaluation**: This statement is false. Pancreatic amylase is an enzyme that specifically digests carbohydrates, particularly starch, into simpler sugars (maltose and glucose). It does not digest proteins. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason The reason states that "Pancreatic amylase breaks the peptide bond of protein." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also false. Peptide bonds are the bonds that link amino acids together in proteins. The enzymes responsible for breaking peptide bonds are proteases, such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, not amylase. Amylase acts on glycosidic bonds in carbohydrates. ### Step 3: Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we can conclude that the correct option is: - **Both assertion and reason are false.** ### Final Answer The correct answer is: **Both assertion and reason are false.** ---
