AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Heparin is a natural anticoagulant inside the blood vessels." - This is true. Heparin is indeed a natural anticoagulant that helps prevent the formation and extension of blood clots within the circulatory system. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided is that "It is an example of homopolysaccharide." - This statement is false. Heparin is not a homopolysaccharide; it is classified as a mucopolysaccharide (or glycosaminoglycan), which consists of repeating disaccharide units rather than a single type of sugar monomer. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the assertion stands alone without support from the reason. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
