AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we can break it down step by step: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Products of digestion are absorbed in the small intestine." This is true. The small intestine is the primary site for nutrient absorption after digestion. It has specialized structures called villi and microvilli that increase the surface area for absorption. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Large intestine has impermeable wall." This is false. While the large intestine does have a different structure compared to the small intestine, it is not impermeable. The large intestine is capable of absorbing water and some electrolytes from the remaining undigested food. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, we conclude that the assertion is correct, but the reason provided does not support the assertion. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, but the reason is false.
