The assertion is false. Alcohol does not undergo hepatic conversion into glucose within the liver. Instead, alcohol is primarily metabolized in the liver through a process called alcohol dehydrogenase, which converts alcohol into acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is further metabolized into acetate by the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.

The reason is also false. Retrograde fermentation refers to the process where glucose is converted into alcohol. It is not a process by which liver cells generate glucose from alcohol. Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are false, and option 4 is the correct answer.
