List two organs contained in the abdominal cavity.
Your Answer:
the stomach and the spleen
The abdominal cavity contains the stomach, intestines, spleen and liver
Question 2
Not yet graded / 5 pts
True or False?
a. The purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ADP. (T or F)
b. Peripheral proteins are found on the outer surface of a cell membrane. (T or F)
c. Exocytosis is the process that occurs to bring biomacromolecules inside the cell. (T or
F)
d. Receptor-mediated endocytosis uses a signaling molecule from another cell, binding
to the cell membrane to bring about changes within the cell proteins. (T or F)
e. Endocytosis is a passive process. It does not require cellular energy expenditure.(T
or F)
Your Answer:
a. False. ATP
b. True
c. False
d. True
e. False
a. False- (ATP is produced, not ADP)
b. True
c. False- (This process is called endocytosis)
d. True
e. False- (Endocytosis is an active process and requires cellular energy)
Question 3

Note: Essay answers must clearly be in your own words.
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?
Your Answer:
Tay-Sachs occurs when a digestive enzyme in lysosomes is missing. Since the
digestive enzyme is missing, toxic lipids build up inside the cell which can lead to mental
disability and death.
(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.
Question 4

Note: Essay answers must clearly be in your own words.
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.
Your Answer:
The smaller cell because as a cell grows larger the ratio of the surface area to volume
decreases. The smaller cell is able carry out respiration faster because relative to the
larger cell it has a larger surface area compared to its volume and can carry out
respiration faster.
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.
Question 5
Not yet graded / 5 pts
Note: Essay answers must clearly be in your own words.
Explain what happens to the soft palate during swallowing. Why?
Your Answer:
During swallowing the soft palate moves upward to prevent food and liquid from
entering the nasal passages.
The upward movement of the soft palate prevents food or liquid from
entering the nasal passages during swallowing.
Question 6
3 / 3 pts
Air and food pass in which one of the following areas:
Trachea
Nasopharynx
Correct!
Oropharynx
Alveoli

Label A- __________
Label C- __________
Label E- __________
Label F- __________
Label H- __________
Your Answer:
Label A- Nasal Cavity
Label C- Soft Palate
Label E- Glottis
Label F- trachea
Label H- Tongue
Label A- Nasal Cavity
Label C- Soft Palate/ Uvula
Label E- Glottis
Label F- Trachea
Label H- Tongue
Question 8
2 / 2 pts
From widest to narrowest, the branches of the bronchial tree are:
Correct!
Primary bronchi, secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, bronchioles
Bronchioles, primary bronchi, secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi
Tertiary bronchi, secondary bronchi, primary bronchi, bronchioles
Secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, primary bronchi, bronchioles
Question 9
Not yet graded / 5 pts
Explain why someone who has hypergastrinemia (excessive secretion of gastrin) might
develop gastric/stomach ulcers.
Your Answer:
Because gastrin stimulates pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid, which can penetrate the
mucus layer of the stomach. So someone that secretes excess gastrin has excess
pepsinogen and HCL in their stomach, and once the stomach lining has been
penetrated an ulcer forms because there is no longer any lining in that area to protect
the stomach.
Gastrin stimulates the secretions of pepsinogens and hydrochloric acid.
Excess amounts would lead to erosion of the stomach lining.
