Question #1
The human organ that detoxifies ammonia by converting it to urea is the:
A. Kidney
B. Intestine
C. Pancreas
D. Liver

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The liver uses the urea cycle (ornithine cycle) to convert highly toxic ammonia, produced from amino acid deamination, into less toxic urea, which is excreted by the kidneys. The kidneys filter urea but do not synthesize it. Pancreas is digestive/endocrine, intestine absorbs nutrients.

A. Calyx
B. Urethra
C. Renal pelvis
D. Ureter

Question #3
The silkworm, Bombyx mori, feeds exclusively on the leaves of which plant during its larval stage?
A. Mulberry (Morus alba)
B. Teak
C. Eucalyptus
D. Castor

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori, is a monophagous insect, meaning it feeds almost exclusively on the fresh leaves of the mulberry plant (primarily Morus alba). The quality and quantity of silk produced are directly dependent on the quality of the mulberry leaves consumed by the larvae. While tasar silkworms feed on oak and castor, the common mulberry silkworm requires Morus alba.
