Question #2
Which of the following nitrogenous wastes is the most toxic?
A. Creatinine
B. Urea
C. Uric acid
D. Ammonia

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ammonia (NH₃) is highly toxic and requires large volumes of water for its excretion; hence it is produced by aquatic animals. Urea is less toxic, uric acid least toxic and water-insoluble. Creatinine is a minor waste. Ammonia is converted to urea in the liver via the urea cycle in ureotelic organisms.

Question #3
Bile juice is secreted by the:
A. Pancreas
B. Duodenum
C. Gall bladder
D. Liver

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Bile juice is continuously secreted by the liver. It is stored and concentrated in the gall bladder and released into the duodenum (first part of the small intestine) when food enters. Bile contains bile salts (like bilirubin and biliverdin) which are crucial for the emulsification of fats, breaking them into smaller micelles for easier digestion by lipases.
