Two cells in the same organism differ only in the number of chloroplasts they contain. The first cell has multiple chloroplasts, and the second cell has very few. What would most likely characterize these cells?

A
There would be no difference between the functioning of the cells because the chloroplasts are not essential cell structures.
B
The second cell would become larger because it would have fewer chloroplasts regulating its size and shape.
C
The second cell would shrink because it would not be able to store water and maintain cell shape.
D
The second cell would not be able to produce as much food because it could not capture very much sunlight.

The epidermis of the skin consists of many layers of tightly packed cells. The outermost layer of cells is dead. Which best describes why this occurs?

A
Chemical compounds containing digestive enzymes are located on the outside of the skin, and they destroy the cells.
B
Blood vessels are not located in the epidermis, but in the underlying dermal connective tissue.
C
The outer layer of skin is nervous tissue and nervous tissue will not regenerate.
