AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: The assertion states that "Insulin is not given orally." This is a true statement. Insulin cannot be taken orally because if it were, it would be broken down in the digestive system before it could enter the bloodstream. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: The reason provided is "Insulin hormone is lipid-soluble and directly enters inside the cell membrane." This statement is false. Insulin is not lipid-soluble; it is a peptide hormone, which means it is water-soluble. 3. **Chemical Nature of Insulin**: Since insulin is water-soluble, it cannot pass through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane directly. Instead, it binds to specific receptors on the cell surface to exert its effects. 4. **Conclusion**: The assertion is true, but the reason is false. Therefore, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false. ---
