1. In your own words, discuss Tay-Sachs disease. What organelle within the cell is impacted?
What are the symptoms of the disease and why do they occur?
(1)Lysosomes
(2) buildup of toxic lipids inside the cell (biomacromolecules)
(3) disability and death
In the genetic disease known as Tay-Sachs, one of the normally present digestive enzymes inside
lysosomes is lacking. Thus, a toxic lipid in the brain cells cannot be broken down. The resulting
buildup of lipids in these cells can cause intellectual disability and death.
2. You are observing two cells under the microscope. They are the same type of eukaryotic cell
but one appears much larger. Based on appearance alone, which one would you expect to be
carrying out respiration at a more active rate, the larger or smaller cell? Explain why.
The smaller cell. Cells need to remain relatively small because as a cell expands the amount of
surface area relative to the volume of the cell decreases. The smaller cell is more active because
relative to its volume, its surface area is larger than a bigger cell. With a larger surface area
(relative to its volume) this allows the metabolic processes to occur faster.

Answer the following three questions:
1. The pressure of three gases equals 1 atmosphere. What is the partial pressure of oxygen
(in mmHG) if nitrogen is 300 mmHg and carbon dioxide is 350 mmHg? To receive full
credit you must show your work.
110 mmHG
1atm= 760 mmHg
300 mmHg + 350 mmHG + X = 760 mmHg
OR: 760 - 300-350= 110 mmHG

Answer the following essay question (10 points):
1. Muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disease which restricts the lungs from fully expanding
due to muscular weakness. If a person is diagnosed with muscular dystrophy:
1) Which of the following statements regarding pulmonary function would be true?
2) Explain your answer.
A. Inspiratory capacity would be abnormally low
B. Vital capacity would abnormally high
C. Total lung capacity would remain the same
A. Inspiratory capacity would be abnormally low
Vital capacity would decrease because there is a decreased ability to bring in as much air
compared to normal values because of muscular weakness.
Inspiratory Capacity (IC) = TV+IRV (or) VC-ERV
Decreased VC, decreased IC

Answer the following two questions:
1. Explain why a patient with liver disease would have intolerance to fatty foods.
The liver produces bile which breaks down fats. If it is not producing bile (or less bile), fats will
not be broken down effectively.
2. Explain in detail how the stomach contents enter the small intestine.
The pyloric sphincter (valve), located at the base of the stomach, relaxes causing a small quantity
of chyme to pass through the opening into the first part of the small intestine.
This initiates a reflex that causes the muscles of the sphincter to contract and close the opening
temporarily. Then the sphincter relaxes again and allows more chyme to enter.
Look carefully at the diagram below. Label the following 5 organs of the digestive system.
To receive credit for the intestines you must label the specific region.

Stomach
4:
Gallbladder
