Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
If metabolism increases and ventilation does not, PaCO2 rises and the amount of CO2 exhaled during the SBCO2 increases.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Area X represents the actual amount of CO2 exhaled in the breath, assuming that no exhaled air is rebreathed. This is the volume of CO2 in a single breath.
