3. The stratified cuboidal epithelium lining the salivary glands is responsible for:

• A. Protection
• B. Gas exchange
• C. Secretion
• D. Absorption

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Secretion. The stratified cuboidal epithelium lining the salivary glands is specifically designed for the secretion of saliva, which plays a crucial role in the initial digestion of food. This type of epithelium has multiple layers of cells that provide protection and support for the glandular tissue underneath, allowing for the production and release of saliva. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the primary function of this particular epithelium. Therefore, the correct choice is C, secretion.

4. Two identical balls, one made of clay and the other made of steel, are dropped from the same height. Which ball reaches the ground first, neglecting air resistance?

• A. The clay ball due to its lower density
• B. The steel ball due to its higher density
• C. Both balls reach the ground simultaneously
• D. It depends on the initial velocities of the balls

Correct answer: C

Rationale: In a vacuum (neglecting air resistance), the acceleration due to gravity is constant for all objects regardless of their mass or composition. This means both balls will experience the same acceleration and reach the ground at the same time.
