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

✅I believe it is the smaller cell that will breathe at a more
active rate because in order for respiration to occur efficiently
and more actively the surface area to volume ratio is very
critical; also, if the larger surface area is present then the
diffusion of gases occur at a higher rate; so, larger cells will
have a smaller surface to volume ratio and diffusion that will
occur at a slower rate creating a less active respiration; and,
on the other hand smaller cells will have a larger surface area
to volume ratio and an improved diffusion rate, so the higher
rate and more active respiration.
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 epiglottis during swallowing.
Why? - Correct Answers ✅During swallowing the epiglottis
moves inferiorly to close off and prevent aspiration by
covering the trachea and creating a passage for liquid, food,
or bolus into the esophagus; and, preventing these things
from entering into the lungs.

Explain why someone who has hypergastrinemia (excessive
secretion of gastrin) might develop gastric/stomach ulcers. -
Correct Answers ✅Hypergastrinemia leads to excess

disruption that can lead to those ulcers.
Gastrin stimulates the secretions of pepsinogens and
hydrochloric acid. Excess amounts would lead to erosion of
the stomach lining.
