List two organs contained in the abdominal cavity.
The abdominal cavity contains the stomach, intestines, spleen and liver
a. The purpose of cellular respiration is to produce ADP. (T or F)
a. False- (ATP is produced, not ADP)
b. Peripheral proteins are found on the outer surface of a cell membrane. (T or F)
b. True
c. Exocytosis is the process that occurs to bring biomacromole-
cules inside the cell. (T or F)
c. False- (This process is called endocytosis)
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)
d. True
e. Endocytosis is a passive process. It does not require cellular energy expenditure.(T or F)
e. False- (Endocytosis is an active process and requires cellular energy)
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?
Tay-Sachs disease impacts the lysosome of the cell because a digestive enzyme is lacking. This leads to toxic lipid build-up in the brain that cannot be broken down. This can lead to disability and death.
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.
Explain what happens to the soft palate during swallowing. Why?
The upward movement of the soft palate prevents food or liquid from entering the nasal passages during swallowing.
Air and food pass in which one of the following areas: Trachea, Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, Alveoli
Oropharynx
Label the following five items from the diagram:
Label B- Oral Cavity, Label D- Epiglottis, Label E- Glottis, Label F- Trachea, Label G- Esophagus
From widest to narrowest, the branches of the bronchial tree are:
Primary bronchi, secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, bronchioles
Explain why someone who has hypergastrinemia (excessive se-
cretion of gastrin) might develop gastric/stomach ulcers.
Gastrin stimulates the secretions of pepsinogens and hydrochloric acid. Excess amounts would lead to erosion of the stomach lining.
Label the following 5 organs of the digestive system. To receive credit for the intestines you must label the specific region.
3: Stomach, 4: Gallbladder, 7: Jejunum (not small intestine), 9: Appendix (not large intestine), 10: Rectum (not large intestine)
