    A pearl is formed by which tissue of bivalve molluscs 

    • Foot

    • Mantle

    • Head

    • Bone

    Correct Answer
    A. Mantle
    Explanation
    The mantle is the correct answer because it is the tissue responsible for secreting the calcium carbonate and protein layers that form the pearl. The mantle covers the soft body of the bivalve mollusk and plays a crucial role in shell formation and repair. When an irritant, such as a piece of sand, enters the mollusk's shell, the mantle cells begin to secrete layers of nacre around it, eventually forming a pearl.

    Commercial silk is obtained from

    • Cocoon/pupa

    • Catterpiller

    • Adult moth

    • Both egg and adult

    Correct Answer
    A. Cocoon/pupa
    Explanation
    Commercial silk is obtained from the cocoon/pupa stage of the silk moth's life cycle. Silk is produced by the silk moth larvae, also known as caterpillars, as they spin a protective cocoon around themselves. The cocoon is made up of a single thread of silk that can be unraveled and used to produce silk fabric. Once the cocoon is formed, the larvae undergo metamorphosis and transform into adult moths. However, if the larvae are allowed to complete their life cycle and emerge as adult moths, they will break the silk thread, making it unsuitable for commercial use. Therefore, the silk industry harvests the cocoon/pupa stage to obtain the highest quality silk fibers.

    A pearl oyster secretes pearl to

    • Regenerate injured part

    • Protect itself against invading parasite

    • Harden its mentle cavity

    • Isolate damage tissue of the body

    Correct Answer
    A. Protect itself against invading parasite
    Explanation
    Pearl oysters secrete pearls as a defense mechanism to protect themselves against invading parasites. When a parasite or foreign object enters the oyster's mantle cavity, it irritates the oyster. In response, the oyster secretes layers of nacre, a combination of calcium carbonate and organic substances, around the irritant to form a pearl. This process helps to isolate and encapsulate the parasite, preventing further damage to the oyster's tissues. Therefore, the secretion of pearls serves as a protective response against invading parasites.

    Silk fibres are held together in cocoon by a substance known as

    • Sericin

    • Cement

    • Glue

    • None

    Correct Answer
    A. Sericin
    Explanation
    Silk fibres are held together in a cocoon by a substance known as sericin. Sericin is a natural protein that is secreted by the silk worm to form a protective coating around the silk fibres. It acts as a glue-like substance, binding the individual silk fibres together and providing strength and structure to the cocoon. Sericin also helps to protect the silk fibres from external factors such as moisture and bacteria. Once the cocoon is harvested for silk production, the sericin is usually removed through a process called degumming to make the silk fibers soft and lustrous.

The larval form of the moth, known as the caterpillar, produces silk through specialized glands in its mouth. This silk is then used to construct a cocoon, which is made of a single thread of silk that the caterpillar spins around itself. To extract the silk from the cocoon, it is typically boiled to soften the silk fibers, making it easier to unravel.
