    1. In many languages, there is a saying “To make an elephant out of a fly” (i.e., “exaggerate”). How will this elephant-size, Highly Magnified Fly feel? Provide two statements. Explain. (2 pts)

    2. Fill the table below.

        Tall Short Spheric
      radius r, mm      
      height h, mm     NA
      volume V, mm3      
      surface A, mm2      
      relative surface R, mm-1      

      Which plasticizoan is isolated from the environment better then Short: Tall, Spheric or both? (3 pts)

    3. Using the formulas above, calculate relative surfaces of plasticizoans similar to Tall but with heights exactly 10, 30, 60, 80 and 100 mm and base diameter exactly 10 mm each. Make the plot below.

      Now accept that if the relative surface is less than 0.45, cylindric plasticizoan will not survive. Somehow, show this on the plot. Show also your Tall plasticizoan. Will it survive? (5 pts).

    1. On the other side of this paper, sketch your transformation of Tall cylinder. Imagine it as a living thing. What is it good at? Where might it live on our planet? (5 pts).
